  • PROJECT De-VINE NEWSLETTER #10 June 2013 (Formerly Rocklands Road Weedbusters)
    PROJECT De-VINE NEWSLETTER #10 June 2013 (Formerly Rocklands Road Weedbusters) Hello Neighbours! We recently changed our name to reflect the ever widening scope of our successful project. This newsletter is for all the landowners in the Project’s areas in the eastern side of Golden Bay who have made Project De- Vine possible and to the various team members, DOC and TDC staff and supporters near and far. If you have a neighbour without e-mail please pass this information along to them A Special Welcome to the landowners and supporters who live and/or own land in our latest project 4 area, which runs from Ligar Bay to Wainui, including all properties larger than a house with a garden, and which ends at the boundaries of Abel Tasman National Park. Project 4 will complete a strip of properties from Rameka Creek to Wainui’s Pigeon Saddle involving approximately 257 owners and 301 titles. Removing the introduced canopy/forest vines from this beautiful stretch of our county is an ambitious goal whose successful completion will mean another conservation landmark for Golden Bay. Why do we continue to add more properties and people to our vine removing project? We do so because we are in danger of invasive canopy vines smothering the wild, forested areas that remain on private land. If left on their own, canopy vines cover the tree tops, kill and eventually collapse the trees, darkening the forest floor, preventing regrowth while degrading our soil and waterways. In a few short years, the vines reproduce themselves thousands of times.

    New Zealand’s Hottest Destination Is One You’ve Likely Never Heard Of At the top of the country’s South Island, Nelson Tasman dazzles visitors with otherworldly natural beauty and world-class wine, art, and cuisine. By Alexandra Kirkman August 18, 2019 Even in a country renowned across the globe for its ineffable natural beauty, New Zealand’s Nelson Tasman region particularly astounds. Encompassing the most northwesterly part of the South Island—including the city of Nelson, its oldest settlement—and considered the nation’s sunniest place (with 30% more rays than the national average), it’s home to a literal slew of earthly wonders, including Lake Rotomairewhenua—officially named “the clearest lake in the world”—and Farewell Spit, one of the largest sand spits on the planet, as well as scads of exquisite beaches, cerulean bays, extraordinary rockscapes, soaring alpine peaks, and towering ancient forests. But the area’s spectacular array of staggering landscapes is just one notable element of its exceptional and varied allure. These days, Nelson Tasman offers a bona fide bonanza of first-rate activities and destinations for nature-lovers, oenophiles, gourmets, and aesthetes alike. Gardens of Plenty It’s worth planning your trip well in advance to score a coveted reservation at Edenhouse, Nelson Tasman’s most sought-after luxury lodge. Nestled in the seemingly boundless verdure of the Orinoco Valley, a secluded pastoral area studded with farms and orchards and just 45 minutes from Nelson Airport, it’s an unrivaled base from which to explore the myriad riches of the region—though no one will blame you for never wanting to leave the idyllic grounds.

ISBN 978-0-473-40532-8 Acknowledgements Gwen Struik struck upon the idea of having a ten year update of 'The Story of the Friends of Nelson Haven' (that was published in 2007) as a way of further promoting the group with an updated history. I took little persuading as I knew that continuing the story of the Friends would be a very interesting undertaking, and so it proved. Interviews or brief discussions were held with Gwen, Steffan Browning, Rob Schuckard and Doug Craig. Various versions of the draft were improved by Rob, Doug, and Gwen, as well as by Gillian Pollock, Margot Syms and Helen Campbell for which I am grateful. The project was part funded by a grant from the Network Tasman Trust.
