    WEST COAST STATUS REPORT Meeting Paper for West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board

    WEST COAST STATUS REPORT Meeting Paper For West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board TITLE OF PAPER STATUS REPORT AUTHOR: Mark Davies SUBJECT: Status Report for the Board for period ending 15 April 2016 DATE: 21 April 2016 SUMMARY: This report provides information on activities throughout the West Coast since the 19 February 2016 meeting of the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board. MARINE PLACE The Operational Plan for the West Coast Marine Reserves is progressing well. The document will be sent out for Iwi comment on during May. MONITORING The local West Coast monitoring team completed possum monitoring in the Hope and Stafford valleys. The Hope and Stafford valleys are one of the last places possums reached in New Zealand, arriving in the 1990’s. The Hope valley is treated regularly with aerial 1080, the Stafford is not treated. The aim is to keep possum numbers below 5% RTC in the Hope valley and the current monitor found an RTC of 1.3% +/- 1.2%. The Stafford valley is also measured as a non-treatment pair for the Hope valley, it had an RTC of 21.5% +/- 6.2%. Stands of dead tree fuchsia were noted in the Stafford valley, and few mistletoe were spotted. In comparison, the Hope Valley has abundant mistletoe and healthy stands of fuchsia. Mistletoe recruitment plots, FBI and 20x20m plots were measured in the Hope this year, and will be measured in the Stafford valley next year.

  • H.D. Skinner's Use of Associates Within the Colonial

    H.D. Skinner's Use of Associates Within the Colonial

    Tuhinga 26: 20–30 Copyright © Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (2015) H.D.Skinner’s use of associates within the colonial administrative structure of the Cook Islands in the development of Otago Museum’s Cook Islands collections Ian Wards National Military Heritage Charitable Trust, PO Box 6512, Marion Square, Wellington, New Zealand ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: During his tenure at Otago Museum (1919–57), H.D.Skinner assembled the largest Cook Islands collection of any museum in New Zealand. This paper shows that New Zealand’s colonial administrative structure was pivotal in the development of these collections, but that they were also the result of complex human interactions, motivations and emotions. Through an analysis of Skinner’s written correspondence, examples are discussed that show his ability to establish relationships where objects were donated as expressions of personal friendship to Otago Museum. The structure of the resulting collection is also examined. This draws out Skinner’s personal interest in typological study of adzes and objects made of stone and bone, but also highlights the increasing scarcity of traditional material culture in the Cook Islands by the mid-twentieth century, due in part to the activities of other collectors and museums. KEYWORDS: H.D.Skinner, Otago Museum, Cook Islands, colonialism, material culture. Introduction individuals, exchanges with museums, private donations and, significantly, the purchase by the New Zealand government During his tenure as ethnologist (1919–57) and, later, of the Oldman collection in 1948, Otago Museum’s Cook director of Otago Museum, Henry Devenish Skinner Islands collection grew to be the largest in New Zealand.
  • Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy

    Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy

    Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy Volume 1 Published by Department of Conservation/Te Papa Atawhai Private Bag 4715 Christchurch New Zealand First published 2000 Canterbury Conservation Management Planning Series No. 10 ISSN: 1171-5391-10 ISBN: 0-478-01991-2 Foreword Canterbury is rich in its variety of indigenous plants and animals, its historic heritage and relics, and its landscapes. Its physical features are dramatic, ranging from the majestic Southern Alps to the Canterbury Plains, from forested foothills to rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. These features also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. The Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy is responsible for some 1293 units of land, and for the protection of important natural resources generally. To help manage these resources and activities the Conservancy, in consultation with the then North Canterbury and Aoraki Conservation Boards, has prepared a Conservation Management Strategy (CMS). The CMS sets out the management directions the Conservancy will take for the next ten years, the objectives it wants to achieve and the means by which it will achieve these. The draft CMS was released for public comment on 18 November 1995. Submissions closed on 1 April 1996, and 174 were received. Public oral submissions were heard in May and June of 1996. Consultation with Ngäi Tahu Papatipu Rünanga occurred from July to December 1996, and with Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu from July 1996 to May 1997. A summary of submissions and a decision schedule indicating the extent of acceptance of all submissions was prepared and given full consideration in revising the draft CMS. The revised draft CMS and summary of submissions was presented to the Conservation Boards for their consideration.

    An Unusual Plant Community on Some Westland Piedmont Moraines, by G. Rennison and J. L. Brock, P

    223 AN UNUSUAL PLANT COMMUNITY ON SOME SOUTH WESTLAND PIEDMONT MORAINES by G. Rennison* and J.L. Brockf In South Westland there is an extensive area of piedmont moraines lying between the sea and the western scarp of the Southern Alps, and bounded by the Waiho River to the north and the Cook River to the south (Fig. 1). In the main the existing vegetation is podocarp-broadleaf forest, but with small pockets of a plant community which has definite alpine affinities. From the air these show up as light-coloured areas against the dark forest, and occupy areas of infertile terrace. For an explanation of their occurrence an outline of the recent geological history is pertinent. Late Pleistocene History of the Moraines Approximately two thirds of the moraines are mapped as Okarito Formation and the rest as Moana Formation (Warren, 1967; Fig. 2). Both were formed during the advance of the Otira Glaciation, the Okarito Formation being correlated with the Kumara-2 and early Kumara-3 advance, and the Moana Formation with the later Kumara-3 advance (Suggate, 1965). The Okarito Formation may also include remnants of moraines formed by the earlier Waimea Glaciation. From radio-carbon dating, Suggate suggests that the early Kumara-3 advance commenced approximately 16,000 years before present (BP). The late Kumara-3 advance commenced approximately 1,500 years later (14,500 BP) and resulted in the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers being extended beyond the present coastline, with an extensive lateral moraine complex being formed along the periphery of the Okarito Formation. Vegetation Development on the Moraines The following is an outline of the possible mode of vegetation development on these piedmont moraines: 1.

We recom- mend that you allow as much time as possible. Key features include: beautiful rainforest; six large forested lakes; glistening snowy mountains and wild glacier rivers; the famous Fox and Franz Josef glaciers; the goldfields town of Hokitika; ascending Arthur’s Pass through the dramatic cleft of the Otira Gorge; and glorious alpine herbfields and shrublands at the summit. The times given below are driving times only. Enjoy Your Journey, Drive Safely & Remember to Keep Left Wilderness Lodge Lake Moeraki to Fox Glacier (92kms – 1¼ hrs) An easy drive through avenues of tall forest and lush farmland on mainly straight flat roads. Key features along this leg of the journey include Lake Paringa (20km), the Paringa River café and salmon farm (32km), a brief return to the coast at Bruce Bay (44km), and the crossing of three turbulent glacier rivers – the Karangarua (66km), Cook (86km) and Fox (90km) – at the point where they break free from the confines of their mountain valleys. In fair weather, striking views are available of the Sierra Range from the Karangarua River bridge (66km), Mt La Perouse (3079m) from the bridge across the Cook River (88km)and Mt Tasman (3498m) from the bridge over the Fox River (91km).The long summit ridge of Mt Cook (3754) is also briefly visible from just south of the Ohinetamatea River (15km north of the Karangarua River ) and again 4km further north on the approach to Bullock Creek.
