  • A Showy Lily (Lilium Formosanum) on the Move?
    7 produced in its turn a mature form rosette with only 5 leaves a much smaller plant than that produced by the 5 mm tuber at the beginning of the study. This was in fact its last gasp. No new tuber formed and the plant died. The pollination mechanism is insect attractive but on some sites notably the western and southern coastal aspects of the Waitakere Ranges the plants are subjected to severe wind buffeting which is more than enough to shake the pollinia loose and deposit some grains on the stigma. Be this as it may all the flowering plants I observed set s e e d . REFERENCES Hatch E.D. 1949 Trans. R.S.N.Z. 77: p. 238. 1971 Auck. Bot. Soc. Newsletter Nov. p. 5. 1984 Auck. Bot. Soc.

Cameron In mid February 1986 on the Coromandel Peninsula I was struck by the showy roadside and sand dune weed Formosa lily (Lilium formosanum). It was present from the eastern end of the Kopu Hikuai Road north to Cooks Beach (just south of Whitianga) being more common north of Tairua. Along the highway it was growing in roadside gravel usually in small groups of separate plants many kilometres apart. On the sand dunes at Cooks and Hotwater Beaches the lilies were locally abundant and often close together. Flowering stems were about 0.5 m tall (sand dune plants up to 1 m) and had l 2 (4) horizontally held slender funnel shaped flowers 14 18 cm long; making it one of N.Z.s longest flowered wild plants.

    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

We are hoping to report a positive conclusion to this continuing dispute. I can confirm we have had our annual school audit of accounts and am happy to report that the annual financial statements presented fairly, this means they were free of misstatement or fraud and that there was no risk. Thank You A big thank you to Steve Walmsley for helping with the new ropes that have been added to the maypole. Kids are enjoying having this back in action.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.
