About this hunting block

Pahia Hill situated 10 km south of Orepuki is steep with a rounded top. The area covers approximately 165 ha and consists of remains of coastal hardwood, podocarp forest and broad leaved species with dense thickets of tree fern, crown fern and supplejack. Two private bush blocks boarder the conservation hunting area and care needs to be taken concerning these boundaries.
