2016-09-16-West-Coast-Tai Meeting Paper For West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board TITLE OF PAPER STATUS REPORT AUTHOR: Mark Davies SUBJECT: Status Report for the Board for period ending 2 September 2016 DATE: 6 September 2016 SUMMARY: This report provides information on activities throughout the West Coast since the 15 July 2016 meeting of the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board. MARINE PLACE – There is nothing to report in this period MONITORING The West Coast monitoring team are about to collect a series of five-minute bird counts and distance sampling data in the Heaphy valley. This is a repeat of last year’s survey to provide base line data to monitor changes in bird abundance and diversity. Last year’s survey found that all the common forest birds were present, indicating an intact community, although the rarer species were missing. Base line kiwi call count monitoring of Great Spotted Kiwis in MacKay Downs found an average call rate of 5 calls per hour. This is similar to the nearby Gunner Downs and Gouland Downs, but much lower than the Heaphy valley (12 calls/hour) and this is thought to reflect the differences in habitat. DOCDM- 2854178 - Status Report September 2016 1 KARAMEA PLACE Planning Resource Consents received, Concessions/Permissions, Management Plans Two comments were completed by the district on plant samples and guided fishing. Grazing monitoring has been undertaken on four properties. Visitor Management The final stage of the Heaphy track upgrade has begun with the Koura Beach realignment completed and planned to be opened by 3rd of September. The remainder of the work (Mackay Hill and Twin beach) still progressing. Also on the Heaphy track, a large slip was cleared at Wekakoura Point and the roof at Katipo shelter was also replaced. Community Involvement/Initiatives – Suvi van Smit A Kiwi Guardian programme have been created for the Oparara Basin and two geocaches placed in preparation for Conservation Week. Species Management Traplines in the Oparara/Ugly whio security have been open for the season. High numbers of rats have been recorded in the traps. Planning for the Battle for our Birds aerial 1080 operation in Kahurangi National Park has been completed over the past few months. We are waiting for suitable weather windows to run the operations. Research on whio nesting success during aerial 1080 operations will be undertaken this Spring. Transmitters are being placed on female whio so their nests can be monitored. Animal Pest Control – Goat Control No work undertaken since last report - operations are planned to recommence September 2016 Possum Control – No possum control work has happened in this period. Weed Pest Control Some weedbuster work has been undertaken over the period around the Oparara River. Habitat Protection As part of the Heaphy Bathurst project tracking tunnels were run in August for rodents (1 night) and stoats (21 nights) in the lower Heaphy and at Mackay Downs in the upper Heaphy. Rats were tracking at 11% in the upper Heaphy and no stoats were detected. In DOCDM- 2854178 - Status Report September 2016 2 the lower Heaphy rats were tracking at 86% and stoat lines have yet to be retrieved. This information will be incorporated into data being collected for Battle for Birds. 15 A24 self- resetting traps were also established in the exclusion area for aerial 1080 around Mackay Hut. Fire No fires this period. Monitoring Rodent tracking tunnels for the Battle for our Birds 1080 operations have been run during August throughout Kahurangi National Park. No results are available at present.

Qualifications and experience 3 I am 64 years old and reside in Christchurch. I hold BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees in Chemistry from the University of Canterbury and have worked all my professional life until 2010 as a research chemist and scientist in wool science1 at the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand (Inc) and its successors. 4 In the last five years I have been working virtually full time in a voluntary capacity as Conservation Officer for Whitewater NZ, on various issues concerning river and water conservation in New Zealand. 5 Since being introduced to sailing boats as a youngster, and then joining the University of Canterbury Canoe Club (UCCC) in 1971, and building my first canvas white water kayak, I have developed a life-long interest in white water paddling. This has involved me making journeys over the last forty six years to various well-known white water rivers throughout New Zealand and also in the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and the USA.

  • WEST COAST STATUS REPORT Meeting Paper for West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board
    WEST COAST STATUS REPORT Meeting Paper For West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board TITLE OF PAPER STATUS REPORT AUTHOR: Mark Davies SUBJECT: Status Report for the Board for period ending 15 April 2016 DATE: 21 April 2016 SUMMARY: This report provides information on activities throughout the West Coast since the 19 February 2016 meeting of the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board. MARINE PLACE The Operational Plan for the West Coast Marine Reserves is progressing well. The document will be sent out for Iwi comment on during May. MONITORING The local West Coast monitoring team completed possum monitoring in the Hope and Stafford valleys. The Hope and Stafford valleys are one of the last places possums reached in New Zealand, arriving in the 1990’s. The Hope valley is treated regularly with aerial 1080, the Stafford is not treated. The aim is to keep possum numbers below 5% RTC in the Hope valley and the current monitor found an RTC of 1.3% +/- 1.2%. The Stafford valley is also measured as a non-treatment pair for the Hope valley, it had an RTC of 21.5% +/- 6.2%. Stands of dead tree fuchsia were noted in the Stafford valley, and few mistletoe were spotted. In comparison, the Hope Valley has abundant mistletoe and healthy stands of fuchsia. Mistletoe recruitment plots, FBI and 20x20m plots were measured in the Hope this year, and will be measured in the Stafford valley next year.

  • An Unusual Plant Community on Some Westland Piedmont Moraines, by G. Rennison and J. L. Brock, P
    223 AN UNUSUAL PLANT COMMUNITY ON SOME SOUTH WESTLAND PIEDMONT MORAINES by G. Rennison* and J.L. Brockf In South Westland there is an extensive area of piedmont moraines lying between the sea and the western scarp of the Southern Alps, and bounded by the Waiho River to the north and the Cook River to the south (Fig. 1). In the main the existing vegetation is podocarp-broadleaf forest, but with small pockets of a plant community which has definite alpine affinities. From the air these show up as light-coloured areas against the dark forest, and occupy areas of infertile terrace. For an explanation of their occurrence an outline of the recent geological history is pertinent. Late Pleistocene History of the Moraines Approximately two thirds of the moraines are mapped as Okarito Formation and the rest as Moana Formation (Warren, 1967; Fig. 2). Both were formed during the advance of the Otira Glaciation, the Okarito Formation being correlated with the Kumara-2 and early Kumara-3 advance, and the Moana Formation with the later Kumara-3 advance (Suggate, 1965). The Okarito Formation may also include remnants of moraines formed by the earlier Waimea Glaciation. From radio-carbon dating, Suggate suggests that the early Kumara-3 advance commenced approximately 16,000 years before present (BP). The late Kumara-3 advance commenced approximately 1,500 years later (14,500 BP) and resulted in the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers being extended beyond the present coastline, with an extensive lateral moraine complex being formed along the periphery of the Okarito Formation. Vegetation Development on the Moraines The following is an outline of the possible mode of vegetation development on these piedmont moraines: 1.
