Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox protected area

Aorangi Forest Park is a Шаблон:Convert protected area in the Wellington Region of New Zealand administered by the Department of Conservation (DOC).[1] It had been called the Haurangi Forest Park but DOC changed to reflect the Māori name of the range protected by the park.[2]

The park has six backcountry huts and a recreational hunting area in the park.[2] There is a large herd of wild red deer and dry conditions, making the park a popular destination for deerstalkers.[3] There is also a small number of goats and pigs in the park.[4]

The park can be accessed by foot from several local roads, or via private land with the permission of landowners.[5]

A sole-charger presided over the park for several decades, serving as "part caretaker, part sheriff" and de facto police, fire service and fisheries officer.[3]

A rare native long-tailed bat was detected in the forest park in March 2020.[6]

A 17-year-old hunter was rescued from the park in July 2020 after falling down a cliff.[7]

In 2021, James Cameron and his wife committed part of their farmland to establishing a functioning native forest from the Aorangi Forest Park to the foothills of the Remutaka Ranges.[8]

Two families became stranded in the park overnight in June 2021 after their four-wheel drive became stuck.[9]
