Pupu Rangi Nature Sanctuary

The Pupu Rangi Nature Sanctuary offers volunteer and adventure programs to individuals and groups interested in environmental conservation.

Nestled on the slopes of the second highest peak in Northland, New Zealand, the sanctuary consists of 100 hectares of regenerating native forest.

This is not the type of place where tour buses stop every hour or so. The Pupu Rangi Nature Sanctuary is located 250km from a crowded city, 50km from the closest supermarket, 2km from the next door neighbour, and at an arm's length from the Milky Way. For us, seeing two cars in a day is a traffic jam and being able to live in the middle of the forest is the ultimate lifestyle.

While everyone discovers the world in their own personal way, here is what Pupu Rangi aims to be: • an area of protected New Zealand native forest • a place of learning about the forest and nature • a place of self-discovery • a place to meet like-minded people
