Bell Rock Track, Kamahi Loop Track, and  Opouahi Scnic Reserve

Boundary Stream Mainland Island encompasses the 800 hectare Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve situated on the eastern flanks of the Maungaharuru Range, about 60 km northwest of Napier. We walked Bell Rock Track and Kamahi Loop Track which are in the Mainland Island. DOC's work mainly includes:
1. Setting traps and bait stations around and within the entire eserve
2. Monitoring bait stations and traps to measure how pest numbers change and how plants and animals respond.


這一被稱為"陸地裡的小島"的保留區 進行保護原生種動植物的工作計畫 主要是在這保留區廣設捕捉器以及毒渳以撲殺有害動物 並詳細監控 以保護原生種動植物

Bell Rock Track
This track features a variety of vegetation and gnarled trees. It also features panoramic views and the eroded sandstone formation, the famous Bell Rock.

地上鋪滿厚厚的落葉 走起來很舒暢

也如同Bell Rock Track 地上鋪滿厚厚的落葉
 
這支800歲25公尺高matai大樹很幸運 因為太大鋸木廠無法處理 而沒被砍伐 後遭遇大火洪水地震仍存活下來...

Opouahi Scenic Reserve
The walkway circles the lake shore, features regenerating native bush  and picturesque views of Lake Opouahi.
The reserve is very special in that it’s the site of the Pan Pac kiwi crèche. The reserve is surrounded by a 3.3 km
predator-proof fence that provides a safe environment for young kiwi to grow in until they can protect themselves against predators in the wild.
