TRAIL PLANS TRAMPLE CULTURE SAY IWI AND HAPŪ
Iwi and hapū say cultural values are being trampled in plans for two cycle and walking trails in the New Plymouth district.
One trail would connect Te Papakura o Taranaki national park with the coast through the Kaitake range southwest of New Plymouth, while the other would extend the city’s coastal walkway east to Waitara.
