Waipoua Forest preserves some of the best examples of kauri forest remaining in New Zealand. It is notable for having two of the largest living kauri trees, ''Tane Mahuta'' and ''Te Matua Ngahere''. The forest was declared a sanctuary in 1952. A community based volunteer organisation, the Waipoua Forest Trust, helps maintain the forest. ==Location== The forest, on the west coast of the Northland Region, is associated with the neighbouring Waima and Mataraua Forests. The forest sanctuary is bordered to the south by the Professor W.R McGregor Reserve, named after W. R. McGregor (1894–1977).〔 In the 1940s, McGregor successfully campaigned to end logging of the forest and to have it declared a sanctuary, a status it achieved in 1952. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waipoua Forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
