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

debris slopes gently seaward to the north and west and abuts the sedimentary hill country to the
east. Approximately 8 m of rain falls annually on Mt Taranaki and more than 365 fast-flowing
rivers emanate from the mountain in a radial pattern across the ring-plain. Taranaki Region is
dissected by more than 20,000 kilometres (km) of rivers and streams which are a particular
feature of the landscape. This includes the 39 km
perennial borders filled with
rhododendrons, camellias and large

such as a shade house, native dell and
even an old Methodist church now
used as a wedding venue.

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
