The full effects of the nation’s recent Covid-19 lockdown will probably be felt well into the future.

One aspect concerning conservationists is the management of predators and invasive plants. For two-and-a-half months Department of Conservation (DOC) workers were forced to abandon their stringent pest control programmes and stay away. So, did the mice, rats and weeds play?

Dave Winterburn, Takaka District operations manager for the Department of Conservation, has some heartening news.

“Even though we couldn’t be out there, our predator traps were still operating and not dependent on people,” he explained.

“Checking and re-baiting of many of them is done monthly, so it was a case of just pushing that out by few weeks. The A24 rat control traps are checked every three and six months, so they were unaffected. The lockdown wasn’t really an issue for the trapping programme.”

Timing is everything, and this turned out to be another factor in DOC’s favour during the nationwide pandemic measures.

to food, as they do every year. And because we were locked down, we were around home more to see them.”

On a more positive note, an increase in bird sightings during this period could be due to them moving into towns as traffic diminished.

“We were not behaving as we normally do, so as we change our routes and patterns, birds in response change theirs. Or we might have just been seeing more birds because we needed something to occupy us.”

James has been especially concerned about predators finding their way to some of the islands in the Abel Tasman National Park, and affecting the native bird life there.

“DOC keeps eradicating mice from the islands, but they somehow keep getting back there. So what we do with DOC are studies which have linked the genetics back to the mainland, and what we’re finding is that the mice are really good at hitchhiking on people’s boats.”

Unexpectedly, the weeks of national quarantine have actually improved this frustrating situation.

Leaders from across the Nelson Tasman region have launched a $2.8 million action plan to tackle the immediate economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Nelson Tasman Economic Response & Regeneration Action Plan was released last week by Project Kōkiri – a collaborative initiative involving Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council, Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA), Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce (NTCC), iwi and Government agencies, including the Ministry of Social Development, Ministry for Primary Industries and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Coordination of the plan’s implementation will be led by the NRDA and NTCC. The 51-page document details the economic strategy and priorities for the region over the next 12 months, with the stated aim of the project being “…to initiate a response and regeneration that will stimulate the economy, protect and create new jobs and accelerate investment into the region. We will do this by leveraging our advantages around the primary sector, strong liveability proposition and tourism”.

In the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, economic forecasts predict that the Nelson Tasman economy could contract by $280m (7.9%) over the year to March 2021, with the transport, retail and hospitality industries taking the biggest hit - mainly as a result of the region’s decline in tourism. Almost 1 in 10 jobs (5,300) are expected to be lost, mainly in low-skilled categories, and the local unemployment rate is forecast to rise to 8.6%.

In late April, Project Kōkiri submitted a request for $155.4m to the Government’s Crown Infrastructure Fund to finance 14 priority “shovel-ready” projects that would directly employ 2434 people.

For its part, TDC is looking to spend $63.7m on capital projects in 2020/2021, compared to the $45.8m in its Long Term Plan 2018-2028. The significant changes for Golden Bay relate to funding the Port Tarakohe upgrade, and potentially fasttracking improvements to the Pohara stormwater network.

Over the next three months, Project Kōkiri will assess and prioritise around 100 other project submissions, but also intends to develop a limited number of large projects, as well as exploring ways of attracting hi-tech companies to the region.

Collaboration is the key ingredient in the plan, said Tasman Mayor Tim King...

“If this had happened to us in November, or December, it would probably have had a worse effect,” admitted Dave. “But we were coming towards the end of our busy period for predator control.”

Dr James Russell, conservation biologist at the University of Auckland, confirmed the relatively fortunate timing of the lockdown for predator control.

“The good news was that it happened in autumn, which is when the food starts to dwindle, it’s getting a bit colder and the pests are starting to starve,” he says. “Although we had a bit of a prolonged summer, they were starting to die off anyway, through what I call ‘nature’s own pest control.’”

With the temperature dropping and food sources diminishing, the behaviour of rodent pests alters every year around this time.

This has led to some erroneous reports of increasing pest numbers, but James suggests this is more a case of “observer bias”.

“If people were seeing more rats during lockdown, the correct reason is probably because it occurred in autumn, and rats were coming into our houses for warmth and access

Tasman District Council has offered to return more than $27,000 of unspent Government funding it received to finance a variety of freedom camping projects.

In order to help mitigate the impacts of freedom camping activity, TDC was allocated $169,080 to be spent during the 2019-20 financial year on facilities such as toilets and bins, and strengthening enforcement and compliance measures.

However TDC’s total project expenditure during the period came to just over $141,000 with the surplus likely to be heading back to the Government’s coffers.

Despite the underspend, one thing is clear; managing freedom camping requires significant resources, whether funded by ratepayers or from general taxation.

Council views the expenditure as a success, pointing to figures showing a reduction in the number of complaints received in a year-on-year comparison, as well as fewer infringements issued despite an increase in the number of patrols.

The early and sudden closure of freedom camping sites at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic contributed to the Summary of expenditure 2019/2020 on freedom camping projects. lower than expected spend, as a result of the suspension of enforcement activity and the removal of temporary toilets Golden Bay are now being occupied by overnight visitors once and bins. again after rocks placed by council to prevent access during With the shift to Alert Level 1, both freedom camping sites in lockdown were removed last week.

Libraries plan “large crazy quilt” ANITA PETERS

Those across the Top of the South with nimble fingers are invited to participate in a unique inter-library project.

Pania Walton, the event manager for TDC Libraries, was inspired to co-ordinate the creation of a “large crazy quilt” to commemorate the united community response to the Covid crisis. She is inviting people of all ages and abilities, whether they sew or not, to embroider or stitch one small quilted piece with a word or image that held significance for them during Level 4 of lockdown. The individual pieces will then be sewn together to create one large quilted artwork, to demonstrate “the communal effort achieved by the separate efforts of many individuals.”

The deadline for collection at the Takaka Memorial Library is Monday 14 September, after which time the pieces will be forwarded to the Richmond Branch for assemblage. Forms available at the library will be used to fill in contact details plus a brief written explanation about the significance of the word or image each “quilt artist” has chosen for their piece. The artists will then be informed about when and where the finished quilt will be exhibited at various Tasman library venues, beginning with the Gallery Wall at the Richmond Library in March 2021, to coincide with the one year anniversary of Level 4 Lockdown.

Stitching bees will be advertised for those keen to work as a group at the library.

The exhibition itself will be accompanied by posters and media releases, Facebook and It’s On posts to make sure

NEWS IN BRIEF Economic Action Plan Continued from page 1 “… We will not succeed without a combined effort from the community, central and local government and the private sector”.

While recognising that an urgent response is required, NRDA chair Meg Matthews stressed the importance of achieving a truly sustainable recovery.

“We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come together as a region to rebuild and regenerate our economy in new, innovative and sustainable ways that will serve us well into the future. It is our responsibility to get this right for future generations.”

Conservation work resumes Continued from page 1 “During lockdown people wouldn’t have been taking their kayaks or boats out around the coast, so hopefully that reduced some of the ‘hitchhiking’ and provided some protection against the islands being re-invaded while DOC was unable to check them.”

Despite the enforced hiatus in monitoring, James remains enthusiastic about the important work being done here.

“What we’re really interested in is the bigger picture of our species populations, so we go out there and do enough to make sure that the rats are losing and the birds are winning.

And I don’t think lockdown interfered with that long-term plan. There are really exciting conservation efforts going on in the Golden Bay area and the wider Abel Tasman area. It’s just really great to build those.”

Control of invasive plants is another aspect of DOC’s work that had to be placed on temporary hold. But once again, Dave Winterburn feels that the negative effects of lockdown were minimal.

“A lot of our weed work is done in those summer months, so we were coming to the end of our weed season, anyway.

For example, the team do gorse work at Gouland Downs in November, so obviously that had been completed.”

But Dave admitted that weed work involving outside

contractors is one of their main concerns, as Government funding means that projects originally scheduled over a three-month period now have to be completed in one. The end of the financial year is a deadline that cannot be moved, and contractors will have their own backed-up work to deal with.

“We also have track work out at Wainui Falls which should have been done in March/April - and now we’re trying to do it in June. But we’ve brought in a couple of casual staff to help bridge that gap,” said Dave.

DOC has always worked closely with Project Janszoon, while other conservation groups like the Friends of Golden Bay mostly work independently. But currently, no outside assistance has been required, and Dave is positive about the challenges ahead.

“The vegetation has probably got away on us, and the grass will take twice as long to mow.

But it’s mostly good—people stayed away from those sites.

So human impacts were pretty low, and I think we’ll be fine actually, as long as the weather stays good.”

Like many of our protected native species, it appears that Golden Bay’s conservation projects also have an encouraging amount of adaptability and resilience.

Have you heard of us? We used to be a Probus Club, now we are a Friendship Club, and friendship is what we are all about.

We have meetings once a month, with a short-time speaker, 10 minutes, and a main speaker, usually about 45 minutes. Our speakers are varied, sometimes locals and sometimes from “over the hill” with very varied subject matter. There’s a 30-minute cuppa and catch-up time; we never seem short of conversation, a really friendly time.

We also arrange various trips. Last year, a day over the hill to visit the Nelson Pine Industries Ltd and Pic’s Peanut Butter World and a second trip to visit the Ngarua caves (pictured above).

To all members, about 100 of you, yes we are still going strong and will have our first post-lockdown meeting on Friday 3 July at the usual place - the Senior Citizens’ Hall from 10am to 12 noon.

We keep reading that our world economic position is unprecedented. Oxford Dictionary definition: “never done or known before.“ From the learned experts come statements saying “the worst economic situation for a hundred years“.

Others say it could take up to 20 years to get New Zealand into to a new way of overcoming the economic chaos facing us.

How can our council possibly tackle the challenge of balancing the books, or plan ahead at all?

Our current elected representatives, and staff, cannot handle the truth of our predicament. The Local Government Amendment Act 2012 and LGOIMA 1987 are now out of date.

Sadly, those who stick to these acts have lost all initiative, imagination, commonsense and human understanding. To try and sort out 10 years ahead with the Long Term Plan is summed up by “never done or known before“. I feel sorry for the bureaucracy who cannot refer to the book of rules and those Acts for guidance. They have all to be rewritten. The LTP should look 20 years ahead!

Positive learning

I’ve been thinking of the positive things I’ve learnt at school.

The first was what was then Standard One and Two at cooking.

We cooked brains, sweet breads and tripe, then at the end of the lessons we ate our efforts. I enjoyed all the samples. I still treasure the recipe books. The second was in secondary school.

The teacher, Miss Fraser, now Mrs Curnow, taught clothing. She got us to cut identical squares of different materials to test their burning qualities. I remember the ferocity with which the nylon burned. I treasure also my clothing exercise book with samples ensconced in cellophane packets.

Timely talk about vaccines

What a timely idea of Sarah (GBW letters, 12/6) to talk about vaccines especially as she has stated, “The immunisation rate in Golden Bay for immunisation of five year olds is 44%.”

There are no mandatory vaccine programmes in New Zealand, however the New Zealand Government funds immunisations for eligible people that prevent disease, damage and decimation that have been caused from vaccinepreventable illnesses in the past, and more recently, for example, with the measles outbreak in Samoa.

The World Health Organisation and the New Zealand Government work towards a 95% vaccine coverage for twoyear-olds. High immunisation coverage not only means more individuals are protected but it is vital to achieve herd immunity. This means it reduces the spread of vaccine Warming hearts over winter During all those weeks of required separation from our preventable diseases to those who can not be vaccinated for community, some of us were fortunate enough to be with medical reasons, for example children with leukaemia.

The safety and management of vaccines is paramount to a loved ones. Many of us were not. In either case, I sense there is a built-up hankering for sharing and connection with our large body of scientific and medical organisations worldwide.

For those parents with children due for vaccines who wish to wider community members. Enjoying all the open smiling faces at the “Lockdown is over (if you want it)” free concert know more about the safety of vaccines visit the Immunisation at the Sandcastle on 14 June, Steve du Feu kindly offered his Advisory Centre New Zealand on immune.org.nz or phone 0800 auditorium to regularly bring us closer and warm our hearts 466 863 for sound scientific advice and relevant information.

The four to five year vaccinations provide vital cover over the winter. against measles, tetanus and whooping cough. These are all So from this Sunday, 28 June, there will be a “Free Up Play” event, bi-weekly at the Sandcastle from 3-5pm. See ad on page preventable illnesses that this age group can be exposed to.

Take the opportunity to keep your child and yourself safe, 15 of this issue..

There will be performances and an open mic to hold immunise.

Kate O’Byrne the space for our courage go grow, allowing the sharing of I have heard from a reliable source that TDC is planning on installing surveillance cameras in Takaka. It is my suspicion that this will be done without any public input (much like the installation of 5G antennae).

As a faithful reader of The GB Weekly police reports, I don’t recall that we were having a crime wave warranting the need to involuntarily join the surveillance state. No doubt AI facial recognition would become a part of the picture.

If true then this is another valid reason for gaining independent governance in Golden Bay. Can we hear from our councillors?

Consolidated Bylaw – Statement of Proposal Draft Mooring Area Bylaw

Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund – apply now!

Council is looking at changing the rules for moorings and coastal structures in our District. We need your input to ensure the proposed rules are appropriate for our environment and for users of our coastal areas, including boaties using moorings. We are also proposing a bylaw to implement the new rules and to provide control over new mooring areas. We’d value your input on the draft bylaw too.

Previously delayed during the COVID-19 response, the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund applications are now invited until 10 July. The Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund offers help with travel costs for rural sports clubs and rural school teams. The fund is to help young people aged from 5 to 19 to participate in local sports competitions. Sport NZ fully funds the Rural Travel Fund, which Council administers locally on their behalf. The next funding round closes on 10 July 2020. Head to tasman. govt.nz/link/grants for more information and how to apply.

Council is proposing to provide for moorings within 11 mooring areas as permitted activities in the Tasman Resource Management Plan, subject to the mooring owner holding a mooring licence issued under this bylaw by the Harbourmaster. The moorings licence will have conditions regarding the location, safety and management of the mooring. This draft bylaw also includes provisions to enable the Harbourmaster to allocate space, issue, vary and review the conditions, re-issue and revoke licences and provide a waitlist for moorings within the mooring Areas.

DOWN TO EARTH: July preparation time SOL MORGAN

Of all months, July is the really the most chilled, although there is always something to do in the garden and this month is no exception. The super-motivated type will have garlic, broad beans and peas in, fruit trees and shrubs pruned, everything mulched well and their garden project completed.

July is a great time to get prepared for the coming season and all that it entails.

Check through the seed stocks Not so important if you buy seedlings, but there are several crops that are direct-sown, like carrot, beetroot, parsnip, beans, peas (and when it warms up, pumpkin and cucumber).

Peruse those seed catalogues like Kings or Egmont Seeds, or for organic growers, Koanga and Eco Seeds. The garden shop and Rural Service Centre have seed in stock too.

I will be hosting a local seed swap at the Sustainable Living Centre (Community Gardens) Sunday 19 July at 1pm for a few hours. If you haven’t got any to swap but are interested in seed saving and getting local seed, then do come.

Decide what food you want to grow this year Prepare your vegetable garden plan. Clarify what you want to put where, and the size of the bed determines the amount of plants/seed you can fit in it. Consider crop rotation to minimise the risk of soil diseases affecting crops. By following a sowing/ planting guide you can figure out what beds need to be prepared first and so create a plan of action. Some crops require support like poles or stringlines. These can be organised now.

Other heat-loving plants will benefit from weed mat so decide how much and purchase what you need soon. If you haven’t got all your garden beds prepared then there is still time. This may involve getting horse manure form the neighbour or rotted silage from the farmer down the road. I know irrigation isn’t needed anytime soon but it doesn’t hurt to check out the soaker hoses or the sprinkler to make sure all is well.

Also contemplate what other fruits you want and research where to get them. Prepare the ground and suss the right spacing.

Takaka’s Village Market will reopen on Saturday 4 July, having had to remain closed during lockdown levels four, three and two. The logistics of contact tracing were insurmountable, given the number of entrances and exits people use to access the site.

Market convener Grant Knowles has had many people approach him asking when the market will be up and running.

As many of the stallholders have missed out on the last seven weeks of trading at summer’s end due to lockdown, he proposed a weekly market.

He canvassed all regular stallholders and the feedback indicated the preference for a monthly market during the next three months. Many stallholders simply do not have the stock to open weekly at this time of year.

Grant expressed regret that he can’t accommodate public demand for more markets. “I think if you’re going to have a market, you want an eventful market not a watered-down version.”

As 4 July is the first Saturday of the school holidays, Grant plans to open with “more of an ‘oomph!’ than usual – we’ll have a party!” Well-known performers Ron and Lindy Valente will each play a set – and storyteller Roger Saunders will entertain under the trees in the adjoining playground.

Local food growers and artisans will be there selling organic vegetables, eggs, meat, bread and cheeses. There are always second-hand treasures, plants, clothing, soaps, jewellery, hot food, sweet treats and all manner of gifts and goodies to be found.

Grant said that he was excited to be reopening. “I am really grateful to the stallholders, as there wouldn’t be a market without them. Also to everyone who comes out on Saturday mornings to enjoy a bite to eat and a coffee as they stroll around enjoying the market’s ambience.”

Open from 9am to 1pm, the Village Market will operate rain or shine, and will be cancelled only if it is too windy.

NZTA funds road safety improvement trial around high school JO RICHARDS

Golden Bay’s roads may soon be safer thanks to an initiative by NZ Transport Agency.

Under the organisation’s Innovating Streets for People pilot fund, a trial will be carried out to address safety issues around Golden Bay High School including improving walking connections to Takaka township, increasing cycle storage, traffic calming around the school and improving mobility impaired access.

NZTA created the fund to help councils create more people-friendly spaces in towns and cities. It provides councils with a 90 per cent funding assistance rate as well as capability building support for successful applicants. An applications needs to satisfy three basic criteria: It must be a strategic fit with the fund’s objectives and council plans; it must be deliverable; and it must represent value for money.

The GBHS trial funding of $105,000 was approved following an application made during the initial round which opened on 3 April, and closed on 8 May. The second round opened on 8 June and closes on 3 July. Successful applications for round two are due to be announced by the end of July.

Golden Bay netballers bounce back into action

JO RICHARDS

It should have started weeks ago, but due to you know what, the netball season was on hold – until last Saturday.

During the morning, three junior teams from Collingwood Area School (CAS) and Golden Bay High School (GBHS) competed at the Rec Park in a mini-tournament, each team playing the other in a series of three matches.

Technically the sides – one from CAS and two from GBHS – compete in C grade – while their primary school counterparts are categorised as D grade. However, the prolonged disruption to the season means there is no D grade competition this year.

There was nearly no competition for the C-graders either until Clarissa Bruning devised the mini-tournament which runs over two consecutive weekends.

In Saturday’s opening fixture, GBHS White triumphed over CAS with the final score reading 16-9 after the regulation four eight-minute quarters. A few minutes later, CAS were straight back onto the court looking to pick up points against GBHS Green, but eventually went down 21-3. And in the third and final game, a closely fought face-off between the two GBHS sides, the Whites just edged the Greens by 16-15.

Throughout the morning, the energy and commitment of the players never seemed to fade – everyone on court and off appeared to be happy to be back to the sport they love. “It’s just nice to be playing,” said Clarissa.

At the same time as the juniors were throwing the ball around outside, the school’s senior teams were doing battle on the court inside the NBS stadium. The match between CAS A and GBHS B (one of three senior GBHS teams), which ended 42-14 in favour of Collingwood, was the first fixture in the revamped Nelson Competition, which now extends until mid-September.

GBHS Netball co-ordinator Cherie Chamberlain was pleased to have the opportunity to see the younger players in action.

“It was great being able to watch the juniors playing this year as I’m always in Nelson with my Senior B team, but luckily we got to play here and support our juniors.” She was full of praise for the GBHS coaches. “I would like to thank Emma Harwood and Keri Brownlie for coaching our two teams of year 7s and 8s who played really well; however it is a shame for the organiser Clarissa Bruning and the girls that it is only for a couple of Saturdays, but you could tell the girls were loving being out there playing and having the support of parents, whānau and older girls watching.”

The mini-tournament concludes tomorrow morning at the Rec Park.

The presence of kea in the Ligar Bay, Pohara and Clifton area has provided a treat for locals over the last couple of months. Kea naturally live at sea level as well as in the mountains but they come into the valleys to feed when food becomes scarce.

While it may seem that kea are plentiful, there are only around 6,000 in Aotearoa, all living in the South Island, which makes them rarer than North Island Brown Kiwi, of which there are around 25,000. Kea are on the endangered bird list, so having these cheeky, gregarious parrots visit your garden is pretty special.

NATURE DIARY SUBMITTED BY CYNTHIA McCONVILLE

I don’t think there is a bird in the world that has been described in so many different ways. Obnoxious, c h e e k y, l o v a b l e, smart, mischievous and quirky are some of the more polite references. Other Photo: Stuart McKenzie. words I have heard would not be able to be printed. Yes, we are talking about kea. Found along the entire spine of the South Island, kea are the world’s only mountain parrot.

I was prompted to write about them after hearing of kea sightings from residents around the Bay. The most recent was from a fellow Wednesday Walker who had kea on the roof of

her house. Kea like to chew on the lead nails and flashings of buildings. The lead is soft, malleable, easy to access and has a sweet taste. It’s a serious issue for kea putting them at risk of lead poisoning.

Kea are consummate entertainers. Some thirty years ago when I owned the Wholemeal Café, I remember a roaming pack of juveniles making trouble across the road at Reynish’s supermarket. The early morning bread delivery was the highlight of their day. Juvenile kea, identified by the yellow ring around their eyes, often travel in a flock. They are out to explore the world. Mischief abounds.

When we see them clowning around in our local environs we probably don’t associate that with their nationally endangered conservation status. Bounty hunting of kea was outlawed in 1971 with an estimated shooting of one hundred and fifty thousand birds between 1860 and 1970. Due to their extensive range and the low kea density identifying population numbers is difficult. Conservative estimates put their numbers at 6,000.
