while the
south-western half also is identified as a priority terrestrial habitat
for Taranaki.
Sustainability - Positive The site is of a good size and well connected to surrounding
habitat. Key ecological processes still influence the site. Under
appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or
potential threats
Other Management Issues
Habitat Modification - Medium While currently ungrazed, the damp open valley floor has been
fully cleared
Zealand falcon is rarely
seen north of the central
North Island. It is an elusive
creature and prefers
habitats undisturbed by
humans, though it has
adapted well to significant
habitat loss in the past 100
years.
Falcons are generalist
predators, feeding mainly on
birds but also invertebrates
and small mammals such as rabbits. Their breeding season runs from
September to December. Pairs will nest in trees or on the ground under a
log or bush

River ecology
The ecological health of waterways is assessed by studying the type of life they
sustain, and is the primary measure of freshwater quality. Across the region, our
rivers and streams are improving or not showing any significant changes. At more
and more sites, we’re seeing the best results since monitoring began in 1995.
Trends in physical and
to sustain in pasture, planting soil
conservation trees on the easier unstable
slopes, and grazing dairy heifers or other non-
traditional types of stock on the stable
footslopes and valley bottoms.
Purpose of a comprehensive farm plan
Comprehensive farm plans look at all facets of a farm’s
operation including land and stock management. If forestry is
seen as part of the property’s future viability, this plan also
includes an agroforestry plan.

2 I grew up within a few kilometres of the awa of Mimitangiatua, and
attended Mimi school. I grew up knowing of the significance of the
Mimitangiatua, my mother and many of our whanau having been raised
on the whenua alongside the riverbank. I have ownership of a small
acreage at 265 Mimi Road, my husband or myself go there every day to
check our flock.
3 I have very distinctive and happy memories of accompanying my mother
as a small child, to the riverbank on many whitebait
inland as Eltham. Irrigators in the area reported that the
ability to flush salt from pasture as one of the benefits of irrigation. However, not
enough is currently known about the frequency of such events or the impact on pasture
production to quantify the potential benefits in the financial analysis.
5.2 Pugging Potential
The potential for soil pugging under irrigation is a function of soil type, application
depth, application uniformity and stocking rates. Pugging risk is primarily a

brown mudfish, with North Island populations
now mainly found from Warea in Taranaki southwards, usually at elevations
lower than 240 metres. They tolerate a wide range of habitats including
peaty bogs, raupo swamps, lake margins, forest pools and streams.
A lot of the habitats that brown mudfish occupy dry out over summer,
forcing the fish to aestivate (summer hibernation). During summer mudfish
bury themselves deep in mud or under logs, making sure their refuge is
