After the invasion of the Waikato, parts of the Hakarimatas were confiscated in 1864.[2] 1,850 hectares (4,600 acres) of native forest on the range are protected as a scenic reserve.[3] A council supported community group, the Hakarimata Restoration Trust,[4] created in 2001, is helping care for the range.[5]
