It’s been a busy few months for the Towards Predator-Free Taranaki team – which is exactly the way we like it. However we did have some fun recently creating a new video highlighting what the project is all about, what it has achieved so far and what lies ahead. While being in front of a camera was definitely outside my comfort zone, filming was a great chance to stop and reflect on how far the project has come since it launched in 2018. During filming we talked to Taranaki farmers, schoolkids,

Background
Taranaki has over 500 named rivers and streams, many of which contain spots or places
valued for swimming. However, water quality in the region, as in other parts of New
Zealand, varies dramatically with the weather. Taranaki’s high rainfall means that even
our cleanest waterways may exceed recognised

Pukeiti is excited to announce the opening of its 12-bed Pīwakawaka Family Hut, giving families the chance to sleep above the treetops and wake up to birdsong. The impressive hut-style accommodation sits above the Pukeiti rainforest canopy with panoramic views to the Ōkato coast, making it a truly unique and memorable experience for families and groups. From the Pukeiti entrance, it’s about a one hour walk into the rainforest to the hut. There’s plenty to see and hear along the way as pockets

Despite the negative relationship demonstrated between sand cover and the ecological measures of species
richness and diversity at the four northernmost sites, when comparing the sand-adjusted and unadjusted
trend analyses, the observed sand cover did not appear to be having a strong influence on the current long-
term trends for species richness or diversity (i.e., similar results were generally observed across both
datasets). This suggests that sand cover
Intensive predator control and riparian planting are helping toutouwai (North Island robins) spread their wings across the region, three years after they were re-introduced to Taranaki Maunga. Two toutouwai were spotted at Lake Mangamahoe by members of the public last week, at least 15km from Te Papakura o Taranaki (the national park). Nearly 100 toutouwai have been released by Taranaki Mounga Project since 2017 – which was 110 years after they were last sighted on the maunga. The national park
