Fitzgerald Glade (Tukorehe Scenic Reserve), SH 5, Mamaku Plateau (combined trip with Rotorua Botanical Society)
A visit to a well known native forest remnant on the western side of the Mamaku Plateau that everyone has driven through on SH5 but few have stopped to take a closer look. Common species include tawa, mangeao, rewarewa, pukatea, and strangely, masses of young nikau and Arthropteris tenella. Also lots of supplejack. A good chance to produce an up-to-date species list from a rarely botanised scenic reserve. Grade: Medium.
