Water Quality
In mid-2020, Ministry for the Environment approved funding for extensive water quality monitoring to provide baseline information and to identify priority areas for water quality improvements. This report provides a summary of the results from this monitoring. Between August 2020 and July 2021, Marlborough District Council collected monthly water samples and field observations from 113 monitoring sites, an extensive network of stream and river locations in Te Hoiere.

Forestry
An access toolkit for researchers and monitoring teams is now available to download. It aims to help better engage with forestry owners and managers throughout the catchment, ensuring researchers are well-prepared when considering research within commercial forests. The document addresses common industry requirements to access forestry properties, such as health and safety, insurance and fire or natural hazard restrictions. While the document doesn’t grant permission to enter private property, it streamlines and guides the conversation between researchers and forest owners/managers when requesting access.

As well as the access toolkit a Te Hoiere Forest Database has also been compiled. If you wish to determine the location of certain forests within the Te Hoiere catchment for research purposes, please contact eo@totswoodcouncil.org.nz
