Work continues on our William Upton Hewett Memorial Reserve to remark tracks, clear boardwalks and put up new signage. All going well we expect some tracks to reopen for Labour Weekend. A map of tracks expected to be open can be found below.

The William Upton Hewett Memorial Reserve is north-west of Whangarei, between Pipiwai and Titoki. The Papakuri Scenic Reserve is nearby to the north. The 242ha block is mostly regenerating shrubland with a large kahikatea swamp along the eastern stream boundary. The reserve was partly destroyed by fire at the beginning of 2014.
