If you are interested in being involved flick me an email… Nga mihi Chris Rendall Community Relations Ranger – Taranaki Area [email protected] Ph 06 759 7178 In brief: The Herpetological Society One of the local groups that do their bit for conservation is the Herpetological Society. They are the local council’s first point of call if they are undertaking vegetation clearance in a location that may be home to lizards. The Herpetological team then springs into action and rushes out to check the vegetation for lizards to move them to safer habitat. Here are a couple of action shots: Ngaire Jury, Barbara Watkins, Elise Smith and New Plymouth District Council Arborist Conrad Pattison checking Flax bushes for Lizards in an area that was to be cleared for a walkway. If you see lizards please report them at http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/native-animals/reptiles-and- frogs/reptiles-and-frogs-distribution-information/species-sightings-and- data-management/ Pest of the Month – Possum Pest of the Month Trichosurus vulpecula (Brushtail Possum) The Brushtail possum is an introduced marsupial (have pouched young) and are widespread throughout New Zealand.

This is important because it provides us with scientifi cally robust measures of how the environment is changing. Overall, the report shows that the health of our rivers and streams – an important issue for Taranaki – does decrease down catchments, as would be expected in an intensively farmed region, but signifi cantly, over time, it is either not changing or has measurably improved. This is despite expansion and intensifi cation of our agricultural sector over the past fi ve to 10 years. Positive movements towards sustainability continue in our erosion-prone inland hill country. Improvements in air emissions from our major industries have Rob Tucker continued over the last fi ve years and, by all measures, we in Taranaki enjoy excellent air David MacLeod (Chairman) and Basil Chamberlain (Chief Executive), Taranaki Regional Council. quality.

    Spring news update J007006 Experience Pūrangi 53 Rata St, PO Box 126, Inglewood 4347 PURANGI P: 06 756 8925 | E: [email protected] KIWI www.experiencepurangi.co.nz TARANAK I From the Chair It’s a thrill to touch a real kiwi How many people have seen and touched a real kiwi? Not many have had that pleasure – the bird’s secretive and nocturnal habits means it remains a bit of a mystery to most. For that reason it is always a real pleasure to host Sparky the one-legged kiwi and his carer Robert Webb, who each year fly from Whangarei to Taranaki and visit selected schools so children (and their parents) can meet a real-life kiwi. So thank you Robert, for continuing to annually visit Taranaki with your special bird, Sparky. And our thanks also to Greymouth Petroleum for your sponsorship help. Cost. That’s our ongoing challenge. Our sanctuary in east Taranaki is 13,000ha in size – that’s half the size of Egmont National Park – and it costs about $45 per hectare to maintain predator control out there. Being a community project we spend a lot of time applying for grants and fundraising. With that as background, we were delighted to be the recipient of money raised at a fantastic evening and art auction at New Zealand House in London. I attended the event, and I was humbled by the way expatriate New Zealanders were prepared to put their hands in their pockets in support of what we are endeavouring to achieve in our isolated part of the world 18,500 km away.
