Tongariro National Park is an outstanding international site with values unique in New Zealand. Its landscape and cultural values attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. With these visitors come issues, including conflict between users, impact on the environment and the need to maintain protection of the taonga acknowledged by the Gift from the Tūwharetoa people to the nation, which formed the nucleus of the park. There is a special relationship between the iwi of the Volcanic Plateau and the mountains of Tongariro National Park. The relationship is a direct connection between today’s people and their ancestors. The Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Rangi people are the kaitiaki of the park. This plan has been prepared by the team in the Tongariro/Taupō Conservancy. It expresses the department’s intent and directions for management below the strategic level of the Tongariro/Taupō Conservation Management Strategy. It is consistent with the General Policy for National Parks 2005 and with the National Parks Act 1980.

So I guess like others, this has been the year of testing our ability to do what we do in a global pandemic. Luckily before the lockdown we supported some great events with the Tussock Traverse being one I was lucky enough to participate in with my daughter.

  • The Lakes of Tongariro National Park Frances B
    MAURI ORA, 1982, 10: 49-65 49 THE LAKES OF TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK FRANCES B. MICHAELIS Fisheries Research Laboratory, Rotorua, New Zealand* ABSTRACT Knowledge of physical, chemical and biological features of 12 mountain lakes (710-2774 rn a.s.l.) within Tongariro National Park in the Taupo volcanic zone, central North Island, New Zealand is reviewed. Further information on 9 of the lakes is provided, based on a survey carried out in summer 1980-1981. The lakes are the thermal Ruapehu Crater Lake and the cold Rotopounamu, Tama Lakes, Blue Lake, Emerald Lakes and Lake Surprise. Five of the lakes are acidic (pH 1.2-5.2) with low levels of calcium, and in all except Rotopounamu a sparse flora and fauna occurs. Molluscs are absent from all lakes. Rotopounamu, the best studied lake, has patchy beds of sedges on its southern shores, a low growing inshore community of submerged vegetation and a deeper characean algal community. No exotic aquatic plants were seen. Large populations of the galaxiid, Galaxias brevipinnis and the smelt, Retropinna retropinna are present. KEYWORDS: Lakes, thermal, aquatic biology, water chemistry, fish, Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand. INTRODUCTION Most of New Zealand's volcanic lakes lie within the Taupo volcanic zone which extends from the Tongariro volcanoes to White Island 25 0 km northeast in the Bay of Plenty. The lakes within Tongariro National Park are the southernmost of a series that also includes Taupo, Rotoaira and the Rotorua lakes. * Present address: 16 Lanoma Street, Launceston, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA 7250. 50 MAURI ORA, 1982, Vol.10 In this paper, knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of 12 lakes is reviewed, and results of surveys made in 1980-81 are presented.

  • Tongariro National Park - a Gift to the People of New Zealand
    Tongariro National Park - A Gift to the People of New Zealand Te Papa Rehia Whakahirahira o Tongariro He Koha Ki Nga Tangata o Aotearoa 2.1 Introduction - Whakatuwheratanga Tongariro and Ruapehu are mountains sacred to the Maori who have lived at their feet for many hundreds of years. In 1887 Te Heuheu Tukino IV (Horonuku), the paramount chief of the Tuwharetoa, gifted on behalf of his tribe the summits of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and part of Ruapehu to the people of New Zealand, so that their tapu might be protected for all time. This gift was made towards the end of a century which had witnessed massive destruction of natural landscapes and indigenous cultures in many parts of the world. Yet in that time of expanding frontiers and rampant industrialism other social ideas were beginning to gain acceptance. A combination of democracy and Romantic culture gave the vision and means to preserve large areas of wilderness as the common heritage of all. The idea of a park belonging to the whole nation became a reality in 1872 at Yellowstone in the United States. Canada and Australia soon followed with parks of their own, and the basis for the world’s fourth national park was laid by Te Heuheu Tukino’s gift in 1887. It was no accident that this innovation happened first in the New World nations, which lacked cultural edifices to enshrine as national monuments but still had extensive tracts of unspoilt wilds. For the mountains to remain sacred our generation must honour the intention behind the original Maori gift.
