A commitment to our region. A promise to the next generation. Towards Predator-Free Taranaki - Taranaki Taku Tūranga is a large-scale project aimed at restoring Taranaki’s unique wildlife, plants and protecting the region’s lifestyles and livelihoods by removing introduced predators. Launched in 2018, the trailblazing project is using the latest trapping techniques, innovation and technology, sharing lessons learned as the country works towards its Predator Free 2050 target.

State of the Council
Hawera High School students showed
how much can be achieved in numbers
when 45 of them dug in more than 1000
plants on a Manaia property in August.
The group is in the school’s Primary
Industries Academy Programme, which
has 100 students across Years 11 and 12,
and undertook the riparian planting
exercise to protect and enhance water
quality as part of their studies.

Introduction
The Taranaki Regional Council’s leaflet Pole planting -
general principles and practices gives details about
choice of species, where to plant them, when and how.
This information sheet summarises what needs to be
done to get the full benefit from poles once they’ve been
planted.
Re-ramming and checking for die-back
The first spring and summer after planting, check poles
a few times to make sure they are still tight in the
ground. Some soils shrink as they dry, leaving
planting their riparian margins.
For most farmers, I am confident that they will avail themselves of the obvious advantages of the
Taranaki Riparian Management Programme and get on with the business of completing the
retirement and planting of riparian margins. Within the timeframes proposed herein, this is a task that
is readily able to be achieved for all but a few farmers without major impost.
However, as for any group of people, I have no doubt that there will be some who will wait to be
safely drink the
water, swim in the river and catch and eat
kai species from the streams and rivers.

Under the Taranaki Riparian Management Programme, 99.5% of dairy farms have a riparian
plan in place. The programme covers 14,500 kilometres of stream bank. As at June 2017, 84.4%
of plan holders have fenced their streams and over 70% have their streamside margins in
suitable vegetative cover. Over 4.3 million plants have been supplied to plan holders.

Figures from the 2021/2022 financial year show efforts to safeguard our environment by working together
with our community continued with the addition of 30 new comprehensive farm plans and 24 biodiversity
plans prepared for Key Native Ecosystems. We provided more than 418,000 plants for land owners to plant
along the region’s rivers and streams, meaning that some 4,631km of streams have now been planted – a rise
of around 700km of riparian planting on the year before.
We published a handy

The Committee was told that while riparian fencing and planting along with diversion of dairy effluent disposal to land will help to increase freshwater quality, variations in sampling results depend as much on weather conditions and river flows as they do on land-use practices.
