JULY 27th , 2021, at Brightwater School, 7 - 8.30pm
If you value this local asset, and are concerned that it flourishes into the future, then please come to a public meeting being organised by The Nelson Tasman Climate Forum at Brightwater School at 7pm on 27th July. We will discuss the pressures that the bush reserve is under, and what can be done through local efforts to improve the situation. One option is to establish a 'Friends of Snowden's Bush' group to work with the Department of Conservation in caring for the reserve.
Snowden’s Bush reserve is a rare example of the podocarp forest that once covered much of the area. Although it has been considerably modified over time, it is one of the last surviving native lowland bush areas of the Waimea Plains, covering over five hectares on Waimea West Road in Brightwater. The Snowden's Bush Trust is to be congratulated on the purchase of the adjacent land to add to the Reserve.
The Reserve is dominated by mighty totara, titoki and matai, some of them several hundred years old. A diverse understory has flourished since stock grazing ceased in 1972. The regeneration project that began in 1988 has seen the return of tui, bellbirds and kereru to the area.
The trees are a seed source for local plant nurseries, and both the old and regenerating bush provide natural habitats for native wildlife. On top of this, it is an important and dearly loved community asset for Brightwater.
However, the reserve does not look after itself. There are problems with noxious weeds, especially around the edges, and with invasive predators. More recently, the forest has suffered from water stress, caused by a combination of changing land use and climate change. The last two years have seen these stresses become more severe. There is a need to replant areas of the bush, and a thick coverage of trees around the perimeter will reduce wind through the trees, and thus water loss.

TOPIC: Microforestry: What is it, benefits to the climate and beyond, and how to establish your own microforest.
By planting large numbers of mixed native tree species in a small area (minimum 30 sq metres) the theory is that growth rate is enhanced along with carbon sequestration which is claimed to be 30 times that of a plantation forest.
The key feature of our forest, where we have planted almost 300 trees in 100 sq metres, has been the advance treatment of the soil to produce good drainage as well as water retention and long term sharing of soil enhancement benefits. These are supported by drilling 200+ holes in the forest area through the clay subsoil and filling the holes with biochar and compost, allowing them to interact together. We produce the biochar on site by burning wood from cut down trees and producing a high temperature to allow pyrolysis to take place. One drum of burnt timber thus produces about 25 kilos of biochar.
We planted 25 species of native trees and shrubs, appropriate to the area, on 5th April and they are already growing well.
According to the Miyawaki Method, we planted them roughly 60cms apart and must now mulch the forest to a depth of 10-11cms. We must also weed and water for 3 years as necessary, after which the forest should be completely self-supporting.

The majority of cases that Age Concerns work with involves older people living in their own homes. In most instances it is family members like adult children who perpetrate elder abuse or neglect.

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.
