  • Enhancing the Conservation Value of the Birchwood Wetland
    Enhancing the Conservation Value of the Birchwood Wetland Robyn Newham and Courtney Quirin A report submitted in partial fulfilment of the Post-graduate Diploma in Wildlife Management University of Otago Year 2007 University of Otago Department of Zoology P.O. Box 56, Dunedin New Zealand WLM Report Number: 203 Enhancing the Conservation Value of the Birchwood Wetland Robyn Newham Courtney Quirin 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Birchwood wetland area has recently been included within the Ahuriri Conservation Park in the MacKenzie Basin, South Island, New Zealand. The wetland area is ranked as an ‘outstanding’ site of wildlife interest, providing breeding grounds for black stilt, black-fronted tern, large wrybill and Australian bittern populations, in addition to providing essential habitat for other waterfowl. However, past anthropogenic activities, such as drainage, recreation and introduced species, have degraded the Birchwood wetland. The aims of this research and management proposal attempt to increase the productivity of the wetland system, which serves to expand and improve the suitability of habitat for target birds and to enhance the awareness of the public through conservation education. Our research and management plan draws on past wetland enhancement strategies, in addition to incorporating site specific data and original thought. Recommendations A combined ecological and social approach to the management of the Birchwood wetland was proposed. ECOLOGICAL o Due to the complete lack of information about the ecological processes within the wetland, intensive research of the hydrology, geology, invertebrate and vegetation composition was recommended. o Research is critical as modification to the landscape and system may have serious long-term consequences to the Birchwood wetland and neighboring ecological systems.

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).
