Maungatautari - an internationally significant restoration project, this 3,400 hectare forested, extinct volcano stands majestically on the landscape in the Waikato basin, between Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Putaruru, in the central North Island of New Zealand. Takahe, kiwi, kaka (birds) and kokopu (fish) have already been reintroduced to two pest free enclosures!

Completion of a metalled service track on Maungatautari is good news for visitors wanting to walk across the 3,400 hectare mountain. 
Maungatautari Trust staff and volunteers have extended the current 1.4m wide metalled service track from the base of Pukeatua peak to Maungatautari peak so that the all-weather track now runs the 7.4km from Tari Road to Maungatautari peak.
