erosion, which encompasses various forms of landslide. Land with a slope greater than 20 degrees and sown in pasture, is most vulnerable to mass- movement erosion because shallow grass roots do not have the same capacity to hold soil as woody vegetation does. Compared with pasture, tree cover can reduce erosion by 90%. Planting open-spaced soil conservation trees can reduce erosion by 70%. Allowing land to revert to scrub or bush can reduce the risk of erosion. page 41 Land
to be seen in the context of such national priorities. Taranaki people have never shirked hard work or shrunk from a tough challenge, but the next set of challenges will need more than the sweat of our brows. It will require us to exercise our smarts, further develop those smarts and undertake strong collective action. Our future ‘wealth’ will come less from beneath our feet (from grass, oil and gas) and more from between our ears. We need to identify, develop and foster the talents
those species recorded by the Taranaki Regional Council, an additional three new species were recorded by NIWA in April 2012 when commissioned by TrustPower to assess the hornwort community. It is unlikely that these other species will ever become abundant. Hornwort on the other hand is considered highly invasive, and is expected to eventually become dominant, out-competing E. densa and L. major. While this is not expected to cause significant impacts on the ecology of Lake Rotorangi or on the

(consuming water contaminated with BTEX), inhalation (exposure to BTEX present in the air) or absorption through the skin. Inhalation of BTEX can occur while pumping or pouring gasoline or while using products containing the substance. Absorption of these chemicals can occur by spilling gasoline onto one's skin. Acute exposures to high levels of gasoline and its BTEX components have been associated with skin and sensory irritation, central nervous system depression, and effects on the

ultimate experience seeing and hearing birds in a predator-free environment, book a trip to Rotokare Scenic Reserve (email educator@rotokare.org.nz). Or Experience Purangi for a lesson about kiwi, targeted at new entrants (info@experiencepurangi.co.nz). Through predator control efforts, it’s exciting to think of the changes that this generation of school-goers will witness to bird life over the next 30 years. For this to happen, we all need to get on board, so the sooner
officer will check that your metering, recording and telemetry equipment is functioning correctly. What is telemetry? Telemetry is the electronic transmission of data or information from one place to another. How does it work? Your flowmeter is connected to a telemetry device. The flowmeter generates electronic pulses each time a set volume of water passes through the meter. These pulses are recorded by the telemetry device, and automatically transmitted
