Your Committee met for the first time on the 14th of April and we decided to set in place areas of responsibility. So here they are: Fay Jackson – membership issues, changes of address Newsletter “lost and founds” Lois Prebble – secretary of the club Peter Street – finances (HAVE YOU PAID YOUR SUB – DISCOUNT EXPIRES END OF APRIL!!) Sue Weller – in charge of new member’s overnighters Sandra Hawkins – Vets and Level 1 liaison Gordon Murray – Group 2 liaison Colin Garthwaite – Group 3 and Saturday Group liaison Ian Fussell – Group 4 and Backpacking Jill Lyall – Health and Safety and Training issues Gavin Hampton – Chair, website, etc. etc. What this means in practice is that for example if you change your address, get in contact with Fay; if you tramp in a level 2 group and you feel that something needs to be done in a better way, contact Gordon; if we as a Committee want to get feedback from you as members or keep you up to date with what we are doing, the individuals will talk to you whilst out tramping. Still feel free to contact any of us though if you want a chat or have concerns. Jill and Ian are looking to put together a database of Base Camps, so that what we have done in the past is not forgotten about. Although it has just come to the end of the season, now may be the time to start thinking of next seasons back- packing and base tramps. Get your thinking caps on. One thing that the Committee is interested in, and as I mentioned last month so is Peter Mears, is what you want from the bi-monthly Club nights. We are interested in learning – what stops you from attending (venue, night held); what you would like at the nights (training, speakers (outside, club members)); and generally what (if anything) would get you coming along. Feed this back to us when you see us out tramping or let myself or Peter know. Thanks to those who put their hand up for the Wilding Pine days, always a good fundraiser for the club as well as help- ing get rid of a pest. Ian tells me that the work on the Rakaia walkway will take place early in May – he will be in contact. In the same vein, we will be doing a planting session with the City Council at Bowenvale for a couple of hours on the 29th of May. That’s more than enough from me.

    NZ ISSN 0048-0134 NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF FORESTRY SCIENCE New Zealand Forest Service, Forest Research Institute, Rotorua Editor: J. B. Lowry VOLUME 5 FEBRUARY 1976 NUMBER 3 ERUPTION, DETERIORATION AND DECLINE OF THE NELSON RED DEER HERD C M. H. CLARKE Forest Research Institute, New Zealand Forest Service, Rangiora (Received for publication 3 April 1975) ABSTRACT . Data are presented on population increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer during the period 1900-1960, throughout the northern South Island region. Densities are mapped at decade intervals between 1910 and 1950. Popula­ tion numbers increased rapidly after liberation in 1861; highest densities occurred between 1925 and 1940. Population peaks varied from 3-13 years in duration 10-30 years after colonisation and were primarily influenced by food supplies and speed of population increase in the different regions. Depletion of food supplies by deer is proposed as the reason for general physical deterioration of populations during the peak eruptive period. Decline of food supplies and associated population stress, coupled with harsh winter weather (especially in 1928-31 and 1939-42) resulted in overall herd decline. INTRODUCTION The liberations and dispersal of red deer {Cervus elaphus L.) throughout the northern South Island have been described in earlier papers (Clarke, 1971, 1973). In this paper patterns of increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer populations during the period 1900-1960 are examined throughout the northern South Island districts. Although several brief accounts of the Nelson red deer herd were published during the 1920's (Thomson, 1922; Forbes, 1924; Donne, 1924), the only recent papers are N.Z.
