Taranaki include 27 pest animals, 22 pest
plants, and 4 pest fish. The control of all of
them falls into three categories.
1. Eradication – This is the complete removal
of the pest from Taranaki. An example is the
rook, a crow-like bird that causes
considerable damage to pasture. To the best
of our knowledge we believe there are no
longer any rooks living in Taranaki.
2. Containment – Where we feel that total
eradication of a pest is not possible, we
reflect that rainfall at the coast is richer in chloride and
sodium, compared to rainfall that falls inland. Nearly two thirds of GQMP sites plot
below the SWDL, suggesting that much of the region’s groundwater is enriched with
sodium from rock/water interactions with sodium rich source rocks.
26. An analysis of nitrate concentrations over the entire GQMP network suggests that there
has been little change in groundwater nitrate levels over the last five years. There is

conviviality and enjoy Marie’s hospitality.

2.3. The 2015 flood
On 19 and 20 June 2015, the Waitotara Catchment was hit by yet another period of very heavy rain that
caused extensive flooding within the valley and damage to roading and other important infrastructure.

But the dominating feature greeting visitors
is the progress on the developments which
although slowed by the almost incessant

Ecological Values
Sustainability - Positive In good vegetative condition. Under appropriate management, the
forest fragments can remain resilient and continue to contribute to
the wider ecological context.
Representativeness - Low Cathie Native Bush is a good example of Rata, tawa, kamahi,
podocarp forest (MF7-2) and contains vegetation associated with
LENZ environment F5.3b. This type of forest is considered less
reduced and better protected in Taranaki due to extensive areas
falling under
