    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.

  • NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 by DAVID HALL

NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 By DAVID HALL HE last climbing season was notable for two things : first, the early disappearance of snow providing in early January conditions which might have been expected six weeks later ; second, the high death roll in accidents. A consequence of the lack of snow was that much rock was exposed which would have been concealed at a normal Christmas season and many slopes were uncompromisingly hard ice which would normally · have been steep, firm snow; everyone in fact had to work fairly hard for the climbs they did. But some very good climbs were done. The existence (or should one say the ' invention ') of new ten­ thousanders must be a perpetual menace to the peace of mind of those few choice spirits who have achieved what they hoped was an unfading garland with the ascent of all the peaks in New Zealand over 1o,ooo ft. However, Mount ' Magellan ' is not positively claimed as definitely 1o,ooo ft., although it must closely approximate to it. (Throughout these notes names cited in inverted commas have yet to receive the approval of the Geographic Board.) ' Magellan ' lies on the Balfour Range spur of Mount Teichelmann, and its first ascent was made in February by Guide Harry Ayres with B. S. Gillies and Sir Edmund Hillary and D. G. Herron; the two parties climbed some of the day on one rope. They ieft the Haast Hut at 2 A.M., were· at the summit of Teichelmann by way of Clarke Saddle by 10.45 A.M., reached their objective, after traversing a long teetery crest of snow interrupted by a formidable rock tower, at 4 P.M., and returned to the Haast Hut by the route of ascent twenty-four hours after setting forth.
