Why We Are Doing It

Piroa-Brynderwyn High Value Landcare area which extends for 15km from just west of SH1 to Bream Tail in the east. It encircles the Piroa-Brynderwyn ranges and extends north to Waipu, east to Bream Tail and south to Mangawhai spanning more than 22,374ha.

This landscape is distinctive and an easily identifiable feature of the Northland Region’s geography. In this area is the Bream Tail Coastal Headland, an area of vegetation comprises mostly coastal forest and shrubland and has close affinities with Hen Island (Taranga) vegetation.
Many of these vegetation types are important because Bream Tail is the only place in the Waipu Ecological District that they occur.
