Lake Pokorua
Lake Pokorua, located in Kohekohe on the Awhitu Peninsula is of ecological significance in that the lake is seemingly impossibly located in sand dunes.
The surrounding land has been the subject conservation efforts by the Lake Pokorua Adjoining Landowners Group. The lake has been fenced of to stop cattle spoiling the unique ecology of the area
The Lake itself is a designated Conservation Area, a Reserve managed by DoC: the Department Of Conservation. Open space is administered by DoC under the Conservation Act 1987 (Conservation Act) for the purpose of
conserving natural and historic heritage, and their mission statement is: “To conserve New Zealand’s natural and
historic heritage for all to enjoy, now and in the future”.
