SUMMARY Ngamatea Swamp, Waiouru, has been severely modified by fire, grazing, drain excavation and other factors. A survey of the wetland's vegetation and wildlife in September 1988 showed that parts of the area still have important natural features which it would be possible to retain, or even enhance, with appropriate management. An environmental impact assessment made in 1978, before drains were excavated, did not identify the significant vegetation types and plant species which are still present.
