Tai Tokerau trails
The Northland – Tai Tokerau Regional Trails Project Team has announced the revitalisation of the Northland Walking and Cycling Strategy. The goal of the project is to fulfil the vision of Northland as a world-class coastal walking and cycling destination. They are aiming to facilitate meetings in each local council area in late March/April to gather input from key stakeholders, iwi and the community, as well as to provide updates on existing trails. Interested participants can register by emailing northlandregionaltrails@gmail.com.
