STUDY SUMMARY This is a study of the riparian strips of the Manganuioteao River. The study focuses on the vegetation of the riparian strip. It is basically a very broad inventory, designed as an introduction to further riparian ecosystem research on this river. Information available from this study will also be a guide to making immediate and long term management decisions. The study only concentrates on the Manganuioteao River itself, ignoring the various tributaries. These will be completed at a later date. There are two study goals. 1. To form an inventory of riparian strips on the Manganuioteao River (80%) 2. To attempt to establish if the vegetation type and condition is a reason why no blue duck live downstream from Ruatiti Domain (2Q%). In addition to these goals some management suggestions are made for the riparian strips. I would like to eKpress my thanks to the staff of the Wanganui District of the Department of Conservation, particularly John Heaphy, John Ombler and Bob Halsey, whose help was invaluable. 4/ .•. 2. MANGANUIOTEAO RIVER - LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Manganuioteao River. River is the third largest tributary of the Wanganui It begins on the western slopes of Mt Ruapehu at over 2000 metres above sea level and flows in a south westerly direction for 80 kilometres, eventually running into the Wanganui River at 56 metres above sea level. The nearest town to the river is Raetihi, while Ohakune and National Park are also nearly. mainly to the middle reaches. Road access to the river is limited The river is fed by several tributaries. The quality of the water in these tributaries contributes to the excellent water quality of the Manganuioteo River. Nearly all the riparian strips on the river are privately owned, apart from the designated Section 58 strips, upstream from the Ruatiti Domain. Man has been living in the valley since about 1100 A.D. when the valley became an important access route from Wanganui> to: the volcanic plateau. Since the turn of the centuary, with increased European influence with the development of farms, the surrounding valley vegetation has been extensively modified. Much land has since reverted to native vegetation particularly in the lower stretches. Riparian vegetation has remained relatively unchanged, particularly in the lower reaches. The rainfall average per year for the valley is about 2000 millimetres. The lower reaches receive about 1400 millimetres per year while the upper reaches receive about 5000 millimetres per year. The valley climate is generally mild with still, hot conditions in summer and temperature inversions with morning mists in spring and autumn. The river is very gorgy and fast flowing for much of its length. pools have developed on the river. Permanent These pools are remarkably stable, which is typical of the whole Manganuioteao River ecosystem. 5 I . .. The wildlife is well known and valued on the Manganuioteao River. The river is home to the largest colony of blue duck in the North Island and is also home to many other birds, fish, mammals and insects dependant in some way on the river for survival. The recreation opportunities using the river as a resource are valued by many. Angling is a popular pastime because of the good fishing and water quality and beacuse of the accompanying solitude and this is particularly popular when the river is in flood. Other activities include hunting, camping, picnicing, swimming, nature, observation and tourism. The river scenery is another recreation attraction. The intrinsic values the river holds are high and visitor numbers to the area reflect this. The river has, in the past, been threatened by hydro electric development. In March 1988, a preservation order was imposed on the river protecting the water against any such development. In time, protection will hopefully extend to include the riparian strips. T~e wildlife, recreational and intrinsic values the river offers will then be totally protected from development. 6/ .•. I \ \ \ I I I I I / I / I I I .

DEFINITION AND APPLICATION TO THE MANGANUIOTEAO RIVE~ SYSTEM Riparian strips are basically the banks on either side of a river. In the case of the Manganiuoteao River the riparian strip is the piece of land stretching lengthwise along both sides of the river, from its beginning to its confluence with the Wanganui River. is of various widths. The riparian strip The width boundaries are, firstly, the edge of the river and secondly, where the vegetation on the river bank changes. Riparian strips are an essential part of the complete river ecosystem. They provide nutrients to the water as well as shelter for the wildlife living in the river ecosystem. Vegetation on the riparian strips also helps hold the river bank together. The riparian strips can also contribute to the intrinsic value of p river. The riparian strips on the Manganuioteao River can be described as stable. This is particularly evident where plants are flourishing on cliffs. They grow there because the stable conditions allow them to. This stableness no doubt contributes to the water quality of the river. The water quality is outstanding. This is due in part to the slow erosion rate of the river banks and thus the Manganuioteao River remains largely silt free. Water quality does diminish from the confluence of the Ruati ti and the Manganuioteao Rivers do.wnstream. This is due to the relatively high silt content in the Ruatiti Stream. The riparian strips downstream from this point, however, remain stable. The riparian strips on the Manganuioteao River are very diverse. features range from cliffs to fertile river terraces. The land The vegetation ' clothing the riparian strips is also diverse, ranging from beech to lowland forest. There are many signs of man alteration with the occurrance of such vegetation as pasture and silver wattle groves. The riparian vegetation on the Manganuioteao River is largely. mature and unmodified. The retention of this vegetation is one reason why blue duck favour this river so much. The vegetation offers shelter and security for the bird. Riparian strip dive.rsity on the Manganuioteao River contributes to the intrinsic value. , The intrinsic value must further increase if the strips are protected. 8; ... S U R V E Y I N G 4. 4.1 Method Surveying of the riparian strips was carried out between August ~Jra ana August 31st 1988. Surveying was carried out from the adjacent road where this was possible. A raft was used for the majority of the surveying, giving access to the more remote riparian strips. process and ~~lowed The raft also streamlined the surveying surveys to be taken from a 'blue ducks eye' point of view. Each of the riparian strips' survey boundaries were determined by the change in vegetation. A new riparian strip suivey was carried out where one type of riparian vegetation gave way to another. vegetation types are easy to separate. into 135 separate surveys. Changes in vegetation are distinct and The riparian strips were broken down The length of the strips range from 100 to 2000 metres. Each riparian strip width boundary was determined by how far away the adjacent land use was. The maximum and minimum width of a vegetation strip was measured from mean water level. ~I Vlf-. FIGURE 1 - AN EXPLANATION OF RIPARIAN STRIP WIDTH MEASUREMENTS 9/ ... The measurement ran across the lie of the land to the edge of the adjacent land use. Due to the time restriction, measurements taken were an estimate only and should not be taken as completely accurate. Vegetation surveys were kept simple because of the large land area that had to be covered and because of the limited surveying time available. The vegetation strip survey sheet used allowed not only for simplicity but also consistancy .. A set standard developed throughout surveying from the use of this simplistic and concise survey sheet. A photograph was taken of most riparia.,n strips to clarify oach survey. survey sheets have a corresponding photograph attached. Most Some ourvey sheets have no photographs because one reel of film failed to develop. The surveys rate each riparian strip on v~getation condition, vegetation coverage, the native/exotic species ratio, hrnwsi.ng level, the main plant species present and whether or not fencing is desirable. 4.2 · Surveying Sheet Explanation A full explanation of how the survey sheet has been filled out and should be interpreted is given as follows1 Date: The date in which a particular survey was carried out.

Where ~here is no • On some ripariah strips land use does not change. land use change that can be visually seen from the surface of the river the maximum distance is marked as being infinite. 8. Fencing: Good fencing is totally stock proof. The fence is in a good state of repair and will require no maintenance in the near future. Moderate fencing is still stock proof but holes and gaps exist. there will be a hole big enough for stock to get through. Occasionally This fence is easily fixable but if left unattended will deteriorate. Poor fencing is not stock proof. Much maintenance will be required to make stock proof. Absent fencing is no fencing on the riparian strip. Each survey sheet gives a short statement saying why fencing should or should not be required. Often suggestions are made as alternatives to fencing. 9. The survey sheet lists 14 different types or classes of Vegetation: vegetation. A cross is made on the survey sheet beside the type or types of vegetation occurring in the surveyed strip. The letter 'D' often written beside a vegetation type refers to the vegetatation type within the surveyed strip. It means that the vegetation strip is covered by over 50% of that particular vegetation type. If more than one 'D' is written then the vegetation types with 'D' beside them occupy an equal amount of ground and together they are dominant over the other vegetation types. The types of vegetation listed on the surveyed are defined as follows: Pasture grazed - Grazed paddock. Pasture ungrazed - Paddock that has not been grazed for some time. grass is full of weeds. Often 11/ ... Shrubland - Plants not more than three metres high of both native and exotic varieties. They do not cover more than 80% of the surveyed riparian strip. Scrub - Plants not more than three metres high of bot~ native and exotic varieties, covering between 80 and 100% of the riparian strip. Podocarp Dominated - The occurrance of. the 'podocarp forest' species, such as Rimu, Totara, Kahikatea and Rewarewa. These trees can be in any stage of development. Cliff Dwelling - Plants growing on a cliff not more than one metre in height. Cliff Dwelling is made up of fences, flaxes, mosses, liverworks and orchids. It can be a combination of all these or one particular type. Tawa - The occurrance of tawa within the riparian strip. Can be in any stage of development.

Very difficult to Some might occur in various places but are identified as red or black beech. Wattle - The occurrance of wattle of any size. Very common on the riparian strips. Wetlands - An area of swamp - like vegetation. Did not occur on any of the surveyed riparian strips •. Other - The notable emergence of any other species found on the riparian strips. 10. Such species are Poplar, Willow and Karaka. Canopy Species Represented in Understorey: This indicates whether or not the plants or trees that form the vegetation canopy occur in the understorey. More often than not a lack of canopy species in the understorey means that browsing is occurring. Four vegetation levels are looked at when assessing the vegetation condition. These are as follows: Canopy - is the tallest plants or trees occurring in the riparian strip. actual height does not matter. The For example, with a riparian strip of grazed 12/ ... pasture the canopy would be the uppermost blades of grass at a height of, say, 60 centimetres above the ground. With a riparian strip of wattle the canopy would be the tallest wattles occurring - say 15 metres. Sub Canopy - Contains the plants which reach a height of between 60 - 80% of the canopy height. Understorey - Contains the plants which reach a height of between 30 - 60% of the overall canopy height. Ground Cover overall Contains the plants which reach a height of between 0 - 30% of the canopy height. The condition of each of the above strata is rated as being good, medium, poor or absent. These ratings are defined as follows: Good - The strata is undamaged and in healthy condition. There are no holes in the strata and no natural or man influenced damage. Medium- Some evidence of damage but the damage is repairing itself. The strata still looks healthy apart from minor blemishes. Poor - r!fuch damage l)as occurred or the strata has not developed or is developing. Gaps in the vegetation strata are very obvious. Damage is not repairing itself. - The strata does not occur in any shape or form. 12. Length of Strip Covered By this Sheet: river bank of the vegetation strip.

Some roads shown do not 14f ••. 6. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS DISCUSSION The study area can be divided into two parts. One .part is the upstream section, from .the Ruatiti River/Manganuioteao River confluence and the other part is the downstream section from this point. A. THE UPSTREAM SECTION The riparian strips on the upstream section are dominated by scrub. scrub is largely native and mostly in reasonably good condition. This Other notable types of vegetation are cliff dwelling, wattle, podocarpftawa/ kamahi forest and beech. It is interesting to note that, apart from the odd tree, the beech species end at the scenic reserve just down from the Ruatiti Domain (Section 51). The occurrance of the marked Section 58 strip on the upstream.section of the river gives the Conservation Department the legal power to exclude grazing and other vegetation destruction activities from these riparian strips. Such action, however, would most certainly cause rifts between the land owners and the Conservation Department. Such action from the Conservation Department would need to be executed with a great deal of diplomacy. There are several riparian strips on the upstream section of the river where the native bush cover is in very good condition. These areas need only small improvements to make them fully stockproof thus encouraging secondary regrowth. They should be given top priority in stockproofing because of their condition and ease to fix. These areas are identified as follows. 1. Section 1 and 3: The vegetation condition here can easily be improved by fixing existing fences and adding fences where needed on the boundaries of the vegetation strips. Animal exclusion would encourage vegetation undergrowth greatly improving the overall vegetation condition. 2. Section 6 and 7: The fencing condition here is not as fixable. Fencing, however, would greatly enhance the quality of the vegetation coverage. 15/ ... 3. Section 16: A small amount of fencing down each side of the riparian strip, combined with the repair of existing fencing, will totally exclude it from browsing animals. 4. 38: The Ram Paddock. Existing vegetation is mature forest, but the undergrowth is heavily browsed. needs the most immediate action. This riparian strip The sooner it is fenced the sooner the vegetation will return to its former excellent condition. A ring fence around this riparian strip would be relatively cheap and would greatly enhance regenerating, second growth vegetation. This section would benefit with the enforcement of a QEII covenant on the strip or, failing this, a possible management or leasing agreement between the owner and the Conservation Department. 5. Section 37: Once again the extension to already moderate fencing would enhance and improve an area of excellent vegetation. ·6. Section 42: strip. 7.

An area where exclusion of stock Most existing regrowth has been As this paddock is fenced and publicly owned browsing would be easy to exclude. 8. Section 49: with fencing. Another important vegetation area that would benefit The existing canopy is excellent but the ground - cover is non existant due to heavy browsing. A fence across the peninsula would be relatively inexpensive and very effective. While these areas are seen as the most important areas for fencing in the upstream section, the ultimate goal the fencing and/or protection of the whole upstream riparian strip area by covenant, other means. leasing, reserving or The upstream should be given priority for protection over the downstream section because of the blue duck presence. The riparian strips on the upstream section, which is the boundary of blue duck presence1 are more sheltered, gorgy and less exposed to the sun than the downstream section. The vegetation, despite being browsed in many 16/.~. places, is overall tall and dense and a miKture of native and eKotic. Generally the canopy is in good condition and must contribute to the favourable blue duck habitat. The enforcement of riparian strip protection would help stabalize and perhaps increase blue duck numbers on the upstream section. B. THE DOWNSTREAM SECTION The downstream section is dominated by cliffdwelling, scrub and shrubland vegetation. This t¥pe of vegetation reflects the unmodified nature of riparian strips on this part of the river. were once browsed or farmed are now Many riparian: strips that well advanced into the forest regeneration process. The downstream section lacks the large podocarp beech and taw~ canopy tress found in the upstream section, although wattle is present in many sections. In some places, however, canopy, trees are appearing in the regeneration. The lack of large canopy trees means that the downstream section of the river generally lacks the shelter and coolness of the upstream section, which seems to be an essential component of blue duck habitat. The downstream section lacks any Section 58 strips. This means that this section of the river will be a lot harder to seek protection for than the upstream section. Consultation between the Conservation Department and the riparian strip owners will be necessary to develop protection strategies for the downstream section. Most riparian strips on the downstream section are being damaged by browsing. While sheep and cattle are present much of the damage is being done by goats, particularly from Section 110 downwards. 60 goats were counted. In one 1km section, A deal between landowners and the Conservation Department will be necessary to get rid of the goats. Winstones Ltd, the owner of much of the land where goats occur, should be agreeable to goat destruction on their land as it is also in their interest to have no goats. In general it would be easier and cheaper to do drive out or destroy live stock in the lower section rather -than fence. Much of the land is obviously no longer paying as farmland and is being allowed to revert to bush. 17 I ... Fencing riparian strips in the downstream section would be impractical and costly. The alternative is to remove remaining livestock from these riparian strips. C. IN GENERAL - SUMMARY Landowners up and down the river now need to be informed of the status of the riparian strips. They need to know the benefits stable riparian strips bring to the wildlife, the intrinsic value of the area and to their arable land. The presentation of the riparian strips will almost certainly happen with the backing of the landowners. The riparian strips of the Manganu1oteao River contribute much to the overall river ecosystem. The wildlife, recreational and intrinsic values of the river are all enhanced by the stable, relatively unmodified conditions of the riparian strips. The upstream section should have first priority for protection because of the blue duck population. Particular importance should be placed on those sections mentioned. Legally the upstream section is easier to protect because of the presence of designated Section 58 strips. The downstream. section, while harder to get protected, should not be excluded. The removal of stock and to a lesser extent, fencing, should be encouraged and the landowners should be fully informed of the values of riparian strips. This inventory shows the value and feasibility of riparian strip protection on the Manganuioteao River. before it is too late. Action must now be taken to get this protection ......_ 175° 10 E co· Ruati!i · Stm < l:il p:: < DOWr\IS-r~eArrl ~ ::::> E-< Ul l:il :I: E-< 39° 2d s N P-o ~ 0 1 2km f I 19 / ... 7.
