In 1965 the following areas were mapped: grassland 453 acres, shrubland (mostly kanuka shrubland) 1,449 acres, seral forest 1,232 acres, and forests of kohekohe together with minor areas of tawa forest and karaka forest 874 acres. Major vegetation types are described and the pathways of succession detailed.
