Buddleja has the potential to spread quickly and could become as big a problem as gorse if not controlled on Southland’s river beds. Art competition selects cover he creative talents of three Tyoung Southlanders have helped bring the concepts of the Proposed Regional Policy Statement to life. Sarah Sarfaiti’s pencil drawing of Southland’s environment was chosen to illustrate the cover of the document, which was released for public comment last month. And paintings by fellow Invercargill teenagers Olivia Cousins and Fliss Crossley-Pritchard adorn the back and inside back cover. Their artwork was chosen from over 20 entries in a competition run by Environment Southland earlier this year. Sarah Sarfaiti’s winning artwork.

Clint says the existence of the gas, and the amount of it, can help determine the interaction between groundwater (from aquifers) and surface water in the lagoon and surrounding waterways. He says the work will help confirm work already done to examine the groundwater seepage into the lagoon. “It may also be useful in helping to decipher the origins of nutrients inputs into the (Waituna) lagoon.” He says despite the menacing notion of the gas being radioactive, there was in fact little to worry about. In concentrated doses the gas can be harmful to human health, however the radon-222 that exists in Waituna groundwater is at lower levels and poses no health risk, he says. In fact preliminary findings have shown radon-222 levels between 3000 and 40,000 becquerels (the unit used to measure radioactivity) per cubic metre of water, which Clint says is about one- fifth of the World Health Organisation guidelines for groundwater limits.

  • The Soils of Southland and Their Potential Uses E
    THE SOILS OF SOUTHLAND AND THEIR POTENTIAL USES E. J. B. CUTLER, Pedologist, Soil Bureau, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Dunedin The pedologist should concern himself not only with mapping and classification of soils; he should examine the use to which soils are put and the changes that take place under varying kinds of use or misuse. The soil survey is only the starting point; it shows the physical, chemical and genetic characteristics of soils, their distribution and relationship to environment. First of all we are interested in the nature of our soils in their undisturbed native state. We can then~ follow the changes that have taken place with changing farming techniques and try to predict desirable changes or modifications; changes which will not only improve the short term production from the soils, but enable us to maintain long-term, sustained-yield production. These prin- ciples apply equally in the mountains and on the plains. Secondly we are interested in seeing that our soil resources arc used most efficiently; that usage of soils takes place in a logical way and that those concerned .with economics are aware of the limitations of the soil as well as of its potentialities. Thirdly there is the aesthetic viewpoint, perhaps not capable of strict scientific treatment but nonetheless a very important one to all of us as civilised people. There is no reason why our landscape should not be planned for pleasure as well as for profit. THE SOILS OF SOUTHLAND The basic soil pattern of Southland is fairly simple; there are three groups of soils delineated primarily by climatic factors.

  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.

  • Southland Conservancy
    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand SOUTHLAND CONSERVANCY Te Anau Basin Wetland Complex (71) Location: 45o27'S, 167o46'E. To the east and southeast of Lake Te Anau, Southland, South Island. Area: c.2,400 ha. Altitude: 180-360 m. Overview: The Te Anau Basin Wetland Complex consists of seven distinct and isolated wetlands within the Te Anau Basin. These sites are the Dome Mire and Dismal Swamp area, Kepler Mire, Amoeboid Mire, Kakapo Swamp, Dunton Bog and two areas within the Snowdon Forest. The Dome Mire and Dismal Swamp area and Kepler Mire are described in greater detail as Sites 71a and 71b, respectively. All of the wetlands have a similar glacial origin; however, individual sites vary as a consequence of their history, drainage (water table, amounts of ponded water), fertility, topography etc. The complex of peatlands contains a rich variety of plant communities which include several significant plant distributions and provide important habitat for wildlife. Physical features: The Te Anau Basin lies on the eastern margin of Fiordland, a gneiss/schist/granite massif uplifted by the Alpine Fault on its western margin and carved by extensive glaciation through the Quaternary. On its eastern flank, down-faulting in the Te Anau Basin area has contributed to the preservation of soft Tertiary sedimentary rocks, and the deposition of glacial gravels. During the last glaciation, glaciers occupied much of the basin. Depressions and areas of limited drainage developed in the moraines, tills and outwash gravels as the glaciers retreated. Wetlands have developed on these glacial outwash deposits of last glacial to post-glacial age.
