Taranaki’s vegetation cover has been heavily modified by humans, especially from the 1870s to 1910s, when the bush that covered most of the ring plain around Mt Taranaki was felled. Tracts of native forest remain on the lower slopes of the mountain, the outer limit forming the boundary of Egmont National Park. Indigenous forest is also found in the more rugged parts of the eastern uplands.
