Operational update

Whenua Rangatira

3.       Nursery: Due to Covid, we were closed for three weeks during this two-month period. Catch up planting and plant maintenance has been a priority. We also are doing disease monitoring and transporting plants from Marae nursery to Pourewa, this is a slow and diligent process to ensure biosecurity risk measure are implemented. Staff are enjoying the learnings from Wyatt who is supporting staff through certified study in Nursery production level 2.

4.       Ecology: Ongoing and catch maintenance for pest weed and also infill planting of native bush areas on Whenua Rangatira. Looking forward to learning and using the new GIS system to support future works.

5.       Pest Animal Control: Staff continue to do weekly pest animal control. Monitoring, resetting and repairing traps for possums and rats. We have five staff competent in pest management however due to Covid certified training had to be postponed.

Pourewa

6.       Turf Maintenance: Rec Services continue to mow as per the agreed schedule. No changes are anticipated for this financial year.

7.       Ecology maintenance: Pest Weed control: Looking into the use of privet to grow edible, endemic mushrooms. Landcare Research should be providing their yield report and feasibility study to Pourewa by the end of October

8.       Ecology Scoping: Looking at areas within the Tamaki region to collect seed from and using ArcGIS to GPS and map the locations of specific plants for future collection.

9.       Planting: We organized two whanau planting days, two kaumatua planting days, and the Puna Reo at Pourewa Nursery. Pest Animal Control - Songbird continues to monitor traps at Pourewa.

10.     Mara Kai: Weekly project meetings with project manager Andrew Taylor and maara designer Rob Small have been occurring. Construction will start mid-October.

11.     Pourewa Staff: We are pleased to report that we have inducted four new staff members. Three have started their second week, and one will begin the first week of November.

Stakeholders and visiting groups

12.     Whenua Rangatira: We have had limited to no manuhiri / volunteer groups these past months due to covid however have been contacted by sustainable coastline and conservation NZ regarding future volunteer days coming up.

13.     Pourewa: Meetings with Department of Corrections, University of Auckland, Conservation New Zealand, Mannaki Whenua and MfE. supported Tao Rangatahi program in GI with plants, Sustainable Coastlines, Arup, and Auckland City Libraries.

Biodiversity

14.     Bio-diversity monitoring: Currently setting up GIS systems for invasive plant species, restoration areas, and pre-existing native plants across Pourewa. Also looking into implementing quarterly tracking tunnels and additional pest trapping.

15.     Bird monitoring: We continue to do bird monitoring/observation on a weekly basis and are very happy to the following manu return to the whenua: Dotteral(5), Pukeko, Peihana(Pheasant), Matukutuku(Grey Heron), Plover, Tui, Piwakawaka and Putangtangi. Unfortunately we have a flock of Magpie that are attacking other species of manu so are doing ongoing trapping to catch these pest bird.

Health and Safety
