The Department of Conservation will close public access to Tāne Mahuta, in Waipoua Forest, from Monday, November 16 to (approximately) Thursday, November 19, 2020, to undertake repairs to the viewing platform.
Although DOC appreciates there may be some public disappointment at not being able to see Tāne Mahuta at this time, there is still the opportunity to visit Te Matua Ngahere and other great kauri at Trounson Kauri Park and Waiotemarama during this time.
This work will continue to help provide protection to Waipoua Forest from Kauri dieback.
Check the DOC website or call the Kauri Coast DOC office for reopening information as weather, and other factors may push work out.
