In addition there were some areas on the outskirts of the Rangitoto Range that were excluded from the aerial operation at the request of landholders and were controlled using traps.

Box 10-420, Wellington, New Zealand Reference to material in this report should be cited thus: Beveridge, A.E.; Smale, M.C.; Holzapfel, A.S., 2000. Ecology and management of Pureora Forest Park. Conservation Advisory Science Notes No. 252, Department of Conservation, Wellington. Keywords: forest ecology, park management, Pureora Forest Park, bibliography. Introduction This is not an exhaustive bibliography but the 277 papers comprise all the published and unpublished items relevant to the Park that could be located over a 12 month period. The original terms of reference from the Department of Conservation stated that the bibliography should deal with flora and fauna values and pest man- agement in the park. The scope has been somewhat broadened to encompass ecological values and management in the broadest sense, including descrip- tive material, research papers, forest history, management plans and the resto- ration of forest condition and wildlife following direct or indirect human im- pact (especially from the introduction of browsing animals and predators). The period covered is 1950-1999. Pureora (State) Forest Park was formed in 1978 after a New Zealand Forest Service seminar held in Taupo to consider management proposals for the Rangitoto/Hauhungaroa Ranges.

    MAORI AND MINING IN NEW ZEALAND AND BEYOND Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 17 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 MAORI AND MINING IN NEW ZEALAND AND BEYOND Abstract: Before the arrival of Europeans, Maori had known of the existence of gold but did not mine it and had no understanding of its value. Once mining commenced in California in 1849 and Australia in the early 1850s, many Maori participated on several fields, especially in Victoria. When gold was first discovered in New Zealand, at Coromandel in 1852, Maori were keen to learn prospecting skills, and soon found gold in several parts of both the North and South Islands. Some alluvial claims were worked communally, even some women participating. From the start, Maori were determined to protect their rights against Pakeha when they were rivals for the same ground. On the Hauraki Peninsula, which had no alluvial gold, Maori were prospectors rather than miners. Some were successful, often going against the wishes of rangatira who, fearing that opening goldfields would result in their losing their land, refused access to prospectors, particularly in Ohinemuri. At Thames, Maori prospectors succeeded where Pakeha ones had failed, finding the gold that led to the 1867 rush; a rush encouraged by one rangatira in particular, Wirope Hoterene Taipari, who understood how a successful field would benefit him financially (including obtaining a reward for discovering a payable goldfield).

  • Ecology and Management of Pureora Forest Park
    134. Innes, J.G. 1986 b: Introduced mammals, p. 33. - In: Veale, B. & Innes, J. (eds.), Ecological research in the central North Island Volcanic Plateau region. Proceedings of a New Zealand Forest Service workshop, Pureora - New Zealand Forest Service, Forest Research Institute, Rotorua. Summary of a regional overview. Of the 20 wild animal species found on the central North Island Volcanic Plateau, most attention has been given to browsing animals but 'the impact of most mammals is only slowly becoming known'. Little is known of some species, e.g., feral pig. Small mammals have hitherto received little attention (but see 3 papers by King et al. 1996 for studies at Pureora). Keywords: browsing mammals, small mammals, volcanic plateau 135. Innes, J.G. 1987 a: Are North Island kokako killed by aerial 1080 operations? Research results to September 1987. - Forest Research Institute (unpublished report). - Rotorua. See summaries in Forest Research Institute 1986, 1988, 1989.

In 1983 there were reports of kokako in pine plantations from Pureora Forest Park as well as from other central North Island plantations. Whilst this pamphlet refers mainly to a study of kokako in Rotoehu pine plantations there are observations and conclusions that can be extended to Pureora. Kokako move, sing and feed freely in pine plantations rather than reside or breed there. Fast growing pines may be the quickest way (within 15 years) to establish forest corridors between isolated native forest blocks and help protect the bird's future survival.

Neall NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY OF SOIL SCIENCE 1982 . ' Bibliographic Reference: Neall, V.E. (Ed.) 1982: Soil Groups of New Zealand. Part 6, Yellow-brown loams. New Zealand Society of Soil Science, Wellington, New Zealand. 114p. PREFACE Typing:. N.C. McLean, T.J. Roach The yellow-brown loams are to the dairy industry in the North Island what the Draughtmg: C.B. l>owell clover plant is to New Zealand's pastoral farming. Today, these soils also form the basis of our kiwifruit industry in the Bay of Plenty and of a host of new horticultural enterprises in addition to traditional market gardening uses, such as in south Auckland and Ohakune. Yellow-brown loams occupy about 1.5 million ha or about 15% of the North Island. They are one of the major natural resources of New Zealand and increasingly they will become a cornerstone of our food production industry and export earnings. In this, the sixth volume of Soil Groups of New Zealand, the New Zealand Society of Soil Science has attempted to draw attention to the uniqueness of the yellow-brown loams and the special properties which they display. This volume comes at a time when global interest in such groups of soils is widespread and This volume has been compiled from both published readily complements the recently published book "Soils with Variable Charge", and unpublished information. Authors must be prepared for the International Conference held in New Zealand in February, 1981, consulted before papers are cited in other on this subject.
