Northland Pest Control Bucks National Kiwi Trend
While survival of our native bird the kiwi is declining by around 2% per annum in many parts of New Zealand, Northland is bucking the trend. At a recent workshop in Waipu, Kiwi Coast Coordinator Ngaire Sullivan reported that: “Thanks to all the community-led pest control over the last two decades, Northland kiwi numbers are steadily increasing in areas with sustained pest control and dedicated dog control. It’s a phenomenal success and due to the mahi being led by community groups, iwi and hapū.”

This year’s Kiwi Coast annual pest control workshop was held in the Celtic Barn Waipu and co-hosted by Piroa Conservation Trust and Patuharakeke Te Iwi Trust. Now in its tenth year, the workshop turnout of 200 trapping and conservation enthusiasts was bigger than ever.

Highlights of the workshop programme included an overview of Piroa Conservation Trust work by Gill Webb and Ari Carrington and the Mangamuka-Otangaroa Kiwi Corridor by Bernard Coogan. Then there were updates on new traps and trapping techniques for ferrets, feral pigs, mustelids, possums and rats. New technologies also featured strongly with night-time and remote monitoring capabilities.

Kiwi Coast has grown to support more than 210 groups covering more than 250,000 hectares in Northland. A staggering 708,536 pests have been removed from Northland forests, bush and farmland in that decade. “Just think of the damage that could have been done by now, if so many pests were still out there.” said Ngaire. “It doesn’t mean the job is done but we take heart that we’re making a difference.”

New areas of work for Kiwi Coast include developing new acoustic monitors, introducing a Zero Tolerance approach for ferrets, and exploring a suite of measures that could help projects determine if they are ferret free. Kiwi Coast is supported by funding from Northland Regional Council and Foundation North, with a number of generous industry sponsors.

Classics at the Cove has a big show planned for tomorrow on the Tahamoana Angora Goat Farm in Cove Road in Waipu. As much as we want to be outside it seems the weather doesn’t want to cooperate.

As it’s too wet to be outside the event will move to the Waipu Coronation Hall from 5pm to 8pm Sunday 30 October. If you are yet to buy tickets they can be bought at the venue.

Keep an eye on the internet for confirmation if the event needs to be moved.
