Thread: Murumuru Conservation Area Raetihi

I know every single landowner along Murumuru Road all the way to Mangatiti. There’s a great many reds in the area and they stay close to the farms, which they raid at night.

It is imperative that anyone going in there does not stray off DOC land onto private. There is a history of confrontation with landowners and some unsavoury incidents. So know where you are at all times and don’t be tempted to follow sign into somewhere you shouldn’t be. In recent times a network of very high quality cameras were installed in certain prime areas for poaching, inadvertent or otherwise, as well as on the road.
