SaveKainui is a community volunteer-driven project built from scratch and is located just a short drive from Wakefield in the Tasman region. It all began with OneFortyOne New Zealand very generously allowing our community access to their Kainui North Forest to build mountain biking trails. The trails are currently being developed by the hard mahi of community volunteers and the expertise of the MTB Trails Trust.
