Pūkaha extends from just north of Masterton to the southern fringe of the Takapau Plains.
It s now home to a wildlife centre, a large environmental education facility, three full-time Rangitāne carvers and a nocturnal boardwalk.
This is the land Rangitāne s ancestors lived, full of kauri and totara, and many native species. It is the taonga, or treasure, of the iwi who fought long and hard to get it back in a Treaty settlement.
As part of the Treaty settlement which was finalised in 2017, Rangitāne made the significant gesture to give the reserve back to the people of New Zealand.
