Tongariro National Park is an outstanding international site with values unique in New Zealand. Its landscape and cultural values attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. With these visitors come issues, including conflict between users, impact on the environment and the need to maintain protection of the taonga acknowledged by the Gift from the Tūwharetoa people to the nation, which formed the nucleus of the park. There is a special relationship between the iwi of the Volcanic Plateau and the mountains of Tongariro National Park. The relationship is a direct connection between today’s people and their ancestors. The Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Rangi people are the kaitiaki of the park. This plan has been prepared by the team in the Tongariro/Taupō Conservancy. It expresses the department’s intent and directions for management below the strategic level of the Tongariro/Taupō Conservation Management Strategy. It is consistent with the General Policy for National Parks 2005 and with the National Parks Act 1980.

The June meeting was well attended and there was quite a “buzz” in the hall as everyone shared lockdown experiences and fishing success with folks they had not seen for many weeks/months. Our guest speaker Barrie “I Love Fly Fishing” revealed a very detailed understanding of the access points and “best” fishing locations around the Taumarunui area, many known by mem- bers familiar with the area but still a few very valuable tips were noted.
