Pryce's Rahui Reserve is a bush remnant administered by the Royal Forest and Bird Protection society. The reserve was gifted by E O Pryce in 1941 and subsequently incorporated into Forest and Bird in 1961.
Located on a fluvial terrace of the Rangitikei River, the reserve is dominated by kahikatea, with some rimu and matai emerging over a mixed broadleaf canopy. Near the entrance in an area of regenerating kanuka is a large specimen of kowahi (Smillie, 2014). |
