  • The Orini Kahikatea Forest Tauhei — Whitikahu Road
    64 THE ORINI KAHIKATEA FOREST TAUHEI — WHITIKAHU ROAD P.J de Lange INTRODUCTION The Orini Kahikatea forest (NZMS 260 S14/185 976) is the largest of the more northly forested remnants of the Hamilton Basiri. The remnant has been fenced ever since the area was cleared of bush in the early 1900s (Smith pers. comm.). Since the forest is of close proximity (less than 1 kilometre distant) to the Hapukohe Range which has largely remained bushed (until recently) the author was interested to see what the influence of the nearby ranges was; and which of the more northerly species typical of that range had reached the Hamilton basin lowlands (less than 90 a.s.l.). In addition this forest had been visited by Gudex who collected several specimens (lodged in the University of Waikato Herbarium Gudex collection) although no further notes were made of it and his collection is now very fragmentary. I visited the remnant on the 18th January 1987 to investigate the indigenous flora and determine how strong the influence of the nearby ranges on the forests flora was. THE FOREST The Orini remnant is on the property of the Smith family who have owned the farm since the land was first cleared in the early 1900s. The remnant was fenced relatively early on and has remained in this state until the present. The forested area is small (c 7 Ha) and narrow sited on a series of low rolling hills surrounded by river alluvium of the Hinuera Formation. It is quite unlikely that the forest was of a very swampy nature for this reason and so it probably cannot be compared to the forested areas further south in the basin which are developed on the ridge/swale relief typical of the Hinuera Formation.

  • Waerenga-Hukanui General Ward (Page 16) Takes Into Account the Rural Dimension of Communities of Interest Located on the Eastern Side of the District
    INITIAL PROPOSAL JULY 2021 We’re reviewing how Waikato District Council represents our communities in time for the 2022 local authority elections. Council has now decided on an initial proposal for consultation with the community and we would like your views. This booklet has all the information you need to understand the option we’re proposing for representation of our District and includes a submission form for you to have your say.

HE AHA TE AROTAKE WHAKAAHUATANGA? Every three years elections are held for councils. To make sure we have fair and effective representation at these elections, councils are required by the Local Electoral Act 2001 to review their representation arrangements at least once every six years. Our Council held a representation review in 2018, but feedback was received from the Local Government Commission that we should undertake a more in-depth review for the 2022 elections. The representation review is also required to reflect that Waikato District Council voted to establish Maaori wards for the 2022 local authority elections.

We are sure they will all be enjoying the chance to compete and collaborate with other Y7/8s from all around the Waikato and beyond. This is just one other example of the extra-curricular cultural, sporting, academic and educational opportunities our school offers children. Our teachers and parents support for these programmes adds that extra little something that not every school can. At Horsham Downs, we strive to provide these challenges and opportunities across a variety of arenas so everyone can develop their full potential. Towards the end of this term our school will be running the Keeping Ourselves Safe (KoS) programme. This is a special programme designed and implemented by the New Zealand Police Service for schools. Its aim is to enable children and young people to learn and apply a range of safety skills that they can use when interacting with others. We will be running a parent KoS information afternoon on Thursday 31 August at 2:00pm, prior to the programme beginning. Please see notice attached for an overview of the programme and requirements.

  • Beetle Assemblages of Kahikatea Forest Fragments in a Pasture-Dominated Landscape
    HARRIS, BURNS: BEETLES IN KAHIKATEA FRAGMENTS 57 Beetle assemblages of kahikatea forest fragments in a pasture-dominated landscape Richard J. Harris1 and Bruce R. Burns2 1Landcare Research, Private Bag 6, Nelson, New Zealand (E-mail: [email protected]) 2Landcare Research, Private Bag 3127, Hamilton, New Zealand __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Fragments of kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides) forest provide a major opportunity for conservation of indigenous biodiversity in the heavily deforested landscape of the Waikato Basin, New Zealand. However, there is little documented information on what indigenous fauna survives in these fragments. Using Malaise traps set 20 m and 50 m into fragments and 20 m and 50 m into the adjacent pasture, we analysed the beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages associated with two such kahikatea forest fragments in the south Waikato Basin in order to determine the scope of biotic invasion by adventive species and use of the surrounding pasture by indigenous species. A total of 3706 beetles were caught, encompassing 37 families and 206 recognisable taxonomic units. The forest fragments had a sharply defined edge, and were dominated by indigenous beetle species, with only a few adventive species present. Beetle assemblages sampled in the surrounding pasture were numerically dominated by adventive species. Despite no indigenous plant species being present in the pastures, 55 indigenous beetles species (61% of total species sampled in the pasture) were recorded in this habitat. Traps in the pasture of greatest floral diversity caught the most indigenous beetle species. Beetles of the detritivore guild dominated the samples from forest, but in samples from pasture, detritovores and predatores were co-dominant.
