In the summer forestry will need to get back into the Maraetai block to log the last stand of pines on the western side of the block. It will take 4-6 weeks. We were hoping to have some form of access during that time just like we were hoping to…
WHITFORD IS CLOSED. If you ride there you will get caught by Forestry management camera’s and your details will be sent to the police. You put the whole club at risk by riding there. These people were in there on Sunday, by the harvesting site. Do you know them?

Centuries from now archeologists will discover the Maraetai dirt jumps and conclude they were a religious site for an ancient civilisation- won’t be far wrong. A hand built monument to teenage dreams
FOREST UPDATE. Forest still closed I’m afraid. Prior to the closure it was noticeable how busy it was getting and this Covid 19 thing has made us realise the importance of avoiding overcrowding. So at a recent videoconference PCBC committee meeting it was decided that when we re-open the Maraetai trails will be restricted to EBIKE riders only . Non E-bike riders will be able to ride Whitford once that reopens. Safety is our priority.
Hi, Forest Management has informed us that the forest is closed during the Alert 4 period. Sorry, we tried!
