More trees were damaged on Cape Wanbrow by heavy rain and high winds at the end of last month, making some areas unsafe.
The popular recreational area reopened on Anzac Day, after most of the pine plantation was clear-felled because it was unsafe, after trees were blown over last year.
However, the Waitaki District Council's park officer, Mike Kwant, said recent heavy rain and strong winds further damaged the reserve and there were some concerns for public safety.
People needed to take heed of cordoned-off areas and all signage at the Cape.
''We know how popular Cape Wanbrow is for people and we encourage them to take full advantage of its natural beauty, but it is of paramount importance that everyone observes the signage,'' he said.
The area will remain open but there will be forestry operations, particularly in the gully.
''We ask people to ensure their safety by observing all signposting of hazardous areas and stay away from the cordoned areas.
"The logging contractor is fully aware of public use of the Cape and is ensuring public safety is maintained at all times.''
The public has an opportunity to voice opinions and ideas on future replanting and development of the Cape through the consultation process now open on the Waitaki draft reserves management plan.
This plan sets out how parks and reserves are managed. In it are
proposed changes to parks and reserves including Cape Wanbrow.
