Te Paki Sand Dunes

Te Paki Sand Dunes, also called the Giant Sand Dunes, are a collection of sand dunes located on the Northland Peninsula of New Zealand. The dunes abut the Ninety Mile Beach and are a popular spot for sandboarding. Geography The dunes are located on the western (Tasman Sea) side of the Aupouri Peninsula and are southeast of Cape Reinga Lighthouse. They cover an area of approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) by 1 kilometre (0.62 mi), with some individual dunes rising up to 150 metres (490 ft). Te Paki Stream runs through the area and contains many native flora and fauna. History In 1966 the Department of Lands and Survey purchased the Te Paki Station to create a coastal park. In 1969 the Department contracted archaeologist Janet Davidson to undertake an archaeological survey. Her fieldwork, which was completed between 1969 and 1971, found that the Te Paki dunes have a rich archaeological history which can be threatened by erosion and difficult to protect. A variety of site types were recorded: 45 pa sites; 207 pit, terrace and hut sites; middens; and 19th century sandstone walls. Taro were also found growing. Ecology The wider Te Paki area is home to a diverse range of ecosystems and of native flora and fauna. Sandboarding Sandsurfing is a popular activity at the dunes. Guided tours around Cape Reinga often stop at the dunes to sandboard. Climate References Further reading Dragicevich, K. (2016). Te Paki Station.

Lake Chalice

Der Lake Chalice ist ein kleiner See in der Region Marlborough auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Eingebettet in bis zu 1395 m hohen umgebenden Bergen, befindet sich der See in dem nach Süden gewandten Teil der Richmond Range auf einer Höhe von 860 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Neben einigen kleineren Zuflüssen wird der See durch den ca. 2,7 km nördlich entspringenden Goulter River gespeist. Am Abfluss am südwestlichen Ende des Sees setzt der Fluss seinen Weg fort. Der Lake Chalice, der sich in einer Westsüdwest-Ostnordost-Richtung ausdehnt, besitzt eine Länge von 2,1 km und kommt in der Nähe seines Abflusses auf eine Breite von rund 420 m. Sein Seeumfang beträgt rund 5 km. Zu erreichen ist der Lake Chalice zu Fuß von Westen her über den Goulter Track und von Norden über den Te Araroa Trail. Die Lake Chalice Hut ermöglicht es Wanderern in der Nähe des Sees Rast zu finden oder zu übernachten. Um den See herum wurde ein 2,6 km langer Wanderweg angelegt. Geologie Der See, der sich rund 7 km nordwestliche der Wairau Fault befindet, entstand vermutlich durch ein durch die Verwerfung der Wairau Fault erzeugtes Erdbeben vor zwischen 1885 und 2145 Jahren. Das Erdbeben erzeugte demnach einen Erdrutsch, der den Goulter River aufstaute. Baumstämme, die am Seeboden gefunden wurden, lassen nach der Radiokarbonmethode einen entsprechenden Rückschluss zu. Trivia Ein 1989 gegründetes Weingut in der Gegend westlich von Blenheim hat sich den Namen Lake Chalice gegeben.

North-west Nelson Forest Park

Der North-west Nelson Forest Park war ein im Jahr 1970 gegründeter, unter Naturschutz stehender Wald in den Regionen Tasman und West Coast, im Nordwesten der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Unter dem Park wurden seinerzeit acht State Forests zusammengeführt. Sie deckten zusammen eine Fläche von 31.665 Hektar Wald ab. 1987 übernahm das mit dem Conservation Act 1987 gegründete Department of Conservation die Verwaltung des Parks. Kahurangi National Park Im Jahr 1996 ging der North-west Nelson Forest Park in den neu gegründeten Kahurangi National Park auf. In einigen Karten wird noch ein kleiner Teil des North-west Nelson Forest Park nordwestlich der Wakamara Range als Park ausgewiesen, was allerdings vom Department of Conservation nicht bestätigt wird.

North-west Nelson Forest Park

North-west Nelson Forest Park, also spelled Northwest Nelson Forest Park and North West Nelson Forest Park, is a forest park that was initially very large and managed by the New Zealand Forest Service until the Department of Conservation was formed in 1987. It existed in its initial form from 1970 until 1996, when most of it became Kahurangi National Park. Since then, the remainder of the forest park has been made up of many disparate and unconnected areas around the perimeter of the national park. History Beginning in 1920, forest parks were gazetted north of the Buller River. In the end, there were thirteen separate forest parks. The northernmost eight of those parks were gazetted as the North-west Nelson Forest Park in 1970. The North-west Nelson Forest Park covered approximately 360,000 ha (890,000 acres) of land. The forest park was managed by the New Zealand Forest Service. In 1970, many of the tracks in the park were overgrown. The Forest Service started on a programme of work to promote recreation in the park, including cutting new tracks and building huts. In 1987, the Forest Service was amalgamated with other organisations and became the Department of Conservation, which took over the management of the state forests. From the 1970s, mining companies explored within the forest park and that led to public requests to give the area the higher protection of a national park. The proposal that created most concern was Coronado Global Resources' application to bulldoze a track to the Mount Arthur Tablelands. Much of the forest park plus parts of Mt Owen and Matiri State Forests became Kahurangi National Park in 1996. Around 60 land parcels of the North-west Nelson Forest Park were excluded from Kahurangi National Park for a variety of reasons. These include hydro stations, grazing leases, sphagnum moss gathering areas, and mining operations or interests. As a result, remaining areas of North-west Nelson Forest Park are highly fragmented. The largest of those excluded parcels is the Taitapu Block, some 28,000 ha (69,000 acres) surrounding Lake Otuhie south of Mangarakau, as it was subject to a Waitangi claim. References

Fensham Reserve

Fensham Reserve is a protected native forest remnant in the Wairarapa region of the North Island of New Zealand, located north-west of Carterton. The area of the reserve is 48 ha (120 acres), mostly of primary forest, with 19 ha (47 acres) of regenerating forest and 3 ha (7.4 acres) of wetlands. History The land that is now the reserve was purchased by John Fensham in 1883, with the specific intention of preserving the forest. His daughter Ruby Fensham gifted the land to the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society in 1957, and the title was finally settled on her death in 1978. In 2001, the area of the Fensham Reserve was declared by Government as protected private land, under the scenic reserves section of the Reserves Act 1977. In 2024, the Forest & Bird group of volunteers that looks after the Fensham Reserve made a proposal to Carterton District Council to allocate land associated with the defunct Belvedere Hall as the beginnings of a wildlife corridor between Fensham Reserve and the nearby Tararua Forest Park. The proposal cited concerns over the decline in biodiversity in the reserve because of its isolation in the middle of farmland. Biodiversity The forest in the reserve is mainly black beech, with small areas of forest types that are regionally threatened in the Wellington Region, including kahikatea – pukatea forest, and tōtara – tītoki forest. Swamp forest in the reserve includes kahikatea and other podocarps that may be 700 years old. The area of regenerating forest includes black beech, tōtara and mānuka. The area of the Fensham Reserve makes up the majority of the Fensham Key Native Ecosystem (KNE) – a region defined by the Wellington Regional Council in the catchment of the Mangātarere Stream east of the Tararua Ranges. Land within the KNE is classified in the two highest categories of threatened ecosystems, meaning that there is less than 10-20% of original indigenous vegetation remaining on these types of land in New Zealand. Native birds seen in the reserve include kererū, bellbird, tūī, kākā, grey warbler, fantail and kingfisher. An endangered freshwater fish, the brown mudfish (Neochanna apoda) is found in the wetland. Protected wetlands such as Fensham have high conservation value for the mudfish because it is highly threatened in other locations. Water race A water supply race known as the Carrington Water Race passes through the reserve. It was established over a hundred years ago, sourcing water from the Mangātarere Stream to provide freshwater for irrigation, livestock, and domestic use. Access The reserve is located around 4.7 km (2.9 mi) from Carterton, and is open to the public. There is a loop track through the reserve plus two cross-tracks, with boardwalks over wet areas. Awards In 2002, the Forest & Bird Fensham group that looks after the reserve was recognised with an award for outstanding contributions to conservation.

Lake Purser

Der Lake Purser ist ein See im Southland District der Region Southland auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Der auf einer Höhe von 95 m liegende Lake Purser befindet sich im Fiordland National Park, rund 8 km nordöstlich des Moana-whenua-pōuri / Edwardson Sound und rund 5,8 km südlich des Cook Channel, der zum Tamatea / Dusky Sound gehört. Dieser hat in Südwest-Nordost-Ausrichtung eine Länge von rund 2,03 km und misst an seiner breitesten Stelle rund 530 m in Nordwest-Südost-Richtung. Die Gesamtfläche des Sees beträgt 76,5 Hektar und sein Seeumfang kommt auf rund 5,14 km. Gespeist wird der Lake Purser von dem von Nordosten kommenden Oho Creek, der den See an seiner südwestlichen Seite zum Lake Carrick hin entwässert. Geologie Es wird vermutet, dass sich der Lake Purser durch einen 30 Mio. m³ umfassenden Felsensturz gebildet hat, als dieser den See aufstaute. Man geht davon aus, dass dieser durch ein Erdbeben verursachte Vorgang möglicherweise im Jahr 1826 stattgefunden hat. Siehe auch Liste der Seen in Neuseeland Weblinks Lake Purser.

New Zealand Timber Museum

The New Zealand Timber Museum is located in Putāruru, New Zealand. Its main purpose is to celebrate and preserve the history of the timber industry in the South Waikato District with which it has had a connection dating back to the 1900s. History In 1972, Frank Sneddon, a former editor of the Putaruru Press, visited a small roadside timber museum on Vancouver Island, Canada, and on his return to New Zealand, he suggested the establishment of a timber museum. Because of Putāruru's long association with the timber industry, Sneddon felt the town would be the ideal place to set up a museum. A public meeting was held on 4 May 1972 to gauge interest, and the Timber Museum Society was subsequently formed. The Putaruru Jaycees were involved in the early stages and initially planned that the museum would be sited on the Putaruru Domain, although this did not eventuate. Instead, the Society took a 10-year lease commencing in 1974 of the P.T.Y. (Putararu Timber Industries Ltd) No 2 Mill for 10c per annum. This Mill, built in the 1940s, was previously owned by Tuck and Watkins Ltd. Extremely rundown, the mill had to be virtually rebuilt by the Society for its purposes. In 1977, the Taupo Totara Timber (TTT) Company Mill was moved on site. The restored Tuck and Watkins Mill and the TTT Order Office were opened to the public in September 1981. The Cookhouse Cafe was opened in 1982. In 2007, the Timber Museum of New Zealand Trust took over the running of the site from the Society and in July 2007 presented a three-stage development plan to the South Waikato District Council. By 2010, Stage Two of the Trust's plans had been completed. The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is a timber industry "variety club" that was founded in the US in 1892 to foster activities that would benefit the industry and humanity. Members of the International Order attended the opening of a Hoo-Hoo club room at the Museum in April 2019. The room is located in the Sycamore Conference and Function Centre, named after life member of the Putaruru Timber Museum Society, Cam Sycamore.. Collections The museum holds a large number of unique exhibits and historical archives, including photographic archives of local history from the early 20th century wood craft from local and national artists a number of restored historical buildings on-site a local geology display items relating to the timber industry in the local region from early European settlement a display of native birds by the taxidermist Jane Yandle a 200-year-old mataī log Buildings The museum is the repository of several historic buildings that have been restored and which house several of the museum's collections. The interior of the buildings has been furnished with period equipment and machinery.

Blacks Point Museum

Blacks Point Museum is a museum in Blacks Point, near Reefton on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Building The museum building is a former Methodist/Wesleyan church, which was built from pit-sawn timber in 1876 and led as a non-denominational church by a Methodist minister. The church formerly overlooked the town, but 1912 it was moved back and rotated 90° on its section. As the population of Blacks Point declined, worship shifted to Reefton, and the church closed in 1960. The church building was sold to the community for the purposes of a museum, and Blacks Point Museum opened on 1 October 1966. The building was extended in 1976, and the working Golden Fleece stamper installed in the 1980s. In 2008, a $135,000 purpose-built archive and research room was added. In 2009, a display building and lean-to was constructed, and in 2013 the museum building was re-roofed. The exterior of the museum hosts a mural by cinematographer and local resident Alun Bollinger. Collection The museum contains a collection of memorabilia relating to life in a mining town in New Zealand, including records from the school, the cemetery, genealogical material, a historical photograph collection, town directories, and a range of mining paraphernalia. Next to the museum the still-functional Golden Fleece Battery, which was used by prospectors to crush quartz to extract gold. The battery is a water-driven stamper battery built and used in the 1870s. References
