'Ivory Silk' Japanese Tree Lilac
Fact Sheet ST-611 October 1994 Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Although a Lilac, this member of the species is quite different in appearance than those with which gardeners are more familiar (Fig. 1). Its upright habit varies from symmetrical to irregular but is more consistent than the species. Cultivars including ‘Ivory Silk’ and ‘Summer Snow’ could be used instead of the species due to the more consistent habit and more flowers. ‘Ivory Silk’ grows well only in USDA hardiness zones 3 through six (perhaps into 7) and has an oval or pyramidal form when young but spreads to a rounded shape as it grows older. This is a very large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a 15-foot-spread. The huge clusters of creamy white flowers, borne in early summer for about two weeks, are the main ornamental feature but lack the fragrance of the spring-blooming Lilacs -- this Lilac’s fragrance is more suggestive of Privet. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ Pronunciation: sih-RING-guh reh-tick-yoo-LAY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac Family: Oleaceae Figure 1.

The New Zealand Cycleway
The New Zealand Cycleway Market Research September 2009 Prepared for Ministry of Tourism Prepared by Tourism Resource Consultants EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New Zealand Cycleway market research project The New Zealand cycleway market research project was commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism (TMT) to gain a better understanding of the scope, size and characteristics of cycling markets, both domestically and in New Zealand’s key international markets (e.g. Australia, UK, North America). Tourism Resource Consultants (TRC) undertook to define visitor demand for cycling experiences within New Zealand, identify the key segments of the market, analyse existing research on cycle tourism and recreational cycling and identify potential areas for growth. This report identifies current knowledge about the New Zealand and international cycling markets and provides a baseline for future research on these markets. Methodology TRC reviewed over 70 current research documents, data analysis and case studies, ran a focus group consisting of cycling experts and stakeholders to explore market segments and identify further research needs, and interviewed key agencies. Current research on cycle tourism products, participation and market segmentation in New Zealand is limited. Where data does exist, small sample sizes mean it is often difficult to determine trends and characteristics between on-road and off-road cycling activities. The New Zealand Cycleway experience Currently in New Zealand there are a number of cycling opportunities for visitors to enjoy ranging from undefined road touring routes to well-serviced rides such as the Queen Charlotte Track and the Otago Central Rail Trail, day trips and cycle events. Rides can be taken on disused rail trails, stopbanks and mountain bike tracks. -

Invasive Plants Common in Connecticut
Invasive Plants Common in Connecticut Invasive Plants Common in Connecticut Norway Maple Scientific Name: Acer platanoides L. Origin: Europe & Asia Ecological Threat: Forms monotypic populations by dis- placing native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous understory plants. Once established, it creates a canopy of dense shade that prevents regeneration of native seedlings. Description/Biology: Plant: broad deciduous tree up to 90 ft. in height with broadly-rounded crown; bark is smooth at first but becomes black, ridged and furrowed with age. Leaves: paired, deciduous, dark green, pal- mate (like a hand), broader across than from base to tip, marginal teeth with long hair-like tips. Flowers, fruits and seeds: flowers in spring, bright yellow-green; fruits mature during summer into paired winged “samaras” joined broadly at nearly 180° angle; milky sap will ooze from cut veins or petiole. Similar Species: Other maples including sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and red maple (Acer rubrum). Distin- guish Norway by milky white sap, broad leaves, hair-like leaf tips, samara wings straight out, yellow fall foliage. Native Alternatives: Native maples like sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and red maple (Acer rubrum) Norway Maple Scientific Name: Acer platanoides L.

The general approach to hydrology, yield and demand modelling for the Waikanae River seems reasonable. It seems unlikely that the proposed activity will result in significant changes to the Waikanae River flow regime (over and above effects that are already occurring under the existing borefield and river abstraction consents). However, I have some reservations about the lack of account for climate change and think there needs to be a fuller discussion from the applicant about the basis and justification for this; a discussion that should be in the context of overall planning principles adopted by the applicant across a range of projects. -

Wellington Regional TRAILS FOR THE FUTURE A strategic framework for trails in the Wellington Region ii Wellington Regional Trails for the Future Executive Summary Introduction The Wellington region sits on the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island and contains some outstanding trail-based experiences and the potential to significantly grow the use of outdoor trails. Many other destinations internationally are growing their trail-based tourism infrastructure, marketing, and cooperative efforts to capitalise on their region’s strengths in order to offer world class experiences. The Wellington region has the potential to be such a destination, adding to its already very successful positioning as a capital city with a great cultural scene based on Te Papa and other assets and events, and a thriving food, wine and craft beer scene. -

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.
