  • Dear Friends of Maungatautari Kia Ora Koutou, Here Is Your Latest Edition of Maunga Matters
    4/4/2019 Maunga Matters February 2019 Subscribe Past Issues Translate View this email in your browser Dear friends of Maungatautari Kia ora koutou, here is your latest edition of Maunga Matters. From the Chief Executive Officer by Phil Lyons Kia ora koutou In January we held a landowner meeting to endorse the appointment of Graham Parker, as our new landowner Trustee. Throughout the meeting our landowners demonstrated their passion for the maunga and reinforced just how important their contribution is to the ongoing success of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. By the conclusion of the meeting Graham had been duly endorsed and we had worked collaboratively to review and develop a vitally important bio-security process. The underlying theme here is the importance of strong relationships that foster a culture of collaboration, innovation and change. I’m sure this statement comes as no surprise. Indeed, our strategic plan states that “productive partnerships are a feature of our success”. So, on this basis, I would like to dedicate the remainder of this article to our partners. Waipa District Council (WDC) is committed to protecting and restoring the environs of Maungatautari and continues to administer and manage the reserve, giving effect to the principles of the settlement between the Crown, Ngati Koroki Kahukura and stakeholder iwi. WDC also provides funding to support the vitally important natural heritage and operational teams at Sanctuary Mountain. Waikato Regional Council (WRC) recognises Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari as a regionally significant project. It has supported the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust in its management of the project since 2009.

  • Ecological Island’ in New Zealand
    MYCOTAXON Volume 111, pp. 183–196 January–March 2010 Three new phragmosporous hyphomycetes on Ripogonum from an ‘ecological island’ in New Zealand Eric H.C. McKenzie [email protected] Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research Private Bag 92170, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract — Corynespora ripogoni sp. nov., Ellisembia maungatautari sp. nov., and Solicorynespora maungatautari sp. nov., found on dead stems of Ripogonum scandens in New Zealand, are illustrated and described, and compared with related taxa. Two other hyphomycetes are recorded from New Zealand for the first time. Key words — anamorphic fungi, deuteromycetes, Ellisembia bambusicola, Sporidesmiella parva, taxonomy Introduction Maungatautari Ecological Island is a mainland conservation ‘island’ in central North Island, New Zealand. It is surrounded by 47 km of pest-proof fence, which was completed in August 2006. Except for a few isolated mice, all mammalian pests within the fence have been eradicated. The first of several threatened species of bird have been re-introduced to the area. During a visit to a small part of the reserve some dead stems of the liana, Ripogonum scandens J.R. Forst. & G. Forst. (Smilacaceae), were collected. Several phragmosporous species of hyphomycetes were identified from the stems, including three new species that are described below. Materials and methods Dead stems of Ripogonum scandens were collected from a forested area in the Maungatautari Ecological Island. The stems were incubated under humid conditions and periodically examined for sporulating microfungi. Fungal fruiting structures were removed, mounted in lactophenol or water, and examined by light microscopy. Measurements were made on material mounted in lactophenol. Dried herbarium specimens of the fungi were prepared and deposited in the New Zealand Fungal Herbarium (Herb.

  • Minister's Letter
    Newsletter of Knox Church, Dunedin September quarter, 2018 . Number 315 Minister’s letter Dear friends, Simone Weil was a brilliant 20 th century French thinker and mystic. In her spiritual autobiography Waiting for God , Weil describes how she had received various promptings through her life. As her physical health failed, she went through what she called a period of wretchedness. Here is Weil’s description of one such incident. “I entered the little Portuguese village, which, alas, was very wretched too, on the very day of its patronal festival. I was alone. It was the evening and there was a full moon. It was by the sea. !e wives of the #shermen were going in procession to [make] a tour of all the ships, carrying candles and singing what must certainly be very ancient hymns of heart-wrenching sadness.
