Forest parks of New Zealand
Kaweka Forest Park in New Zealand
The forest parks of New Zealand are on public land administered by the Department of Conservation.
Forest parks have a less stringent level of protection than National Parks and they are used for a wide variety of recreational and commercial activities.[1]
Some forest parks have recently been transferred into conservation parks, for instance, the former 'Whirinaki Forest Park' which became the 'Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park' in 2010.
