Rogers Hut.
Rogers Hut (Te Wairoa)

Located in Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park in the East Coast region

Built for deer cullers in 1952, Rogers Hut is one of only three remaining slab-beech huts in the Urewera Range. This is a standard six-bunk hut, near the border of the Te Urewera.

Rogers Hut is constructed of matai studs and plates with interior walls of slab beech. Located amidst outstanding scenery - close to the river and surrounded by native bush.

Rogers Hut was one of the first two constructed and was built in the winter of 1952 by a team of cullers led by Rex Forrester. Historic themes for this hut are recreation and animal pests.
