Nice! A self-seeded kāramu underneath a ngaio tree at Pourewa. 🌱 Nature is starting to do its thing!

This is part of @AUT_Living_Labs, tracing the ecological dynamics of regeneration, especially the extent to which birds are bringing seeds from nearby Kepa Bush Reserve. 🕊️🔍

@bambampetersen Ok good one all the best with your retirement project

@bambampetersen Where in the country are you?

Great to show the @NZ_PCE team around our Living Laboratory at Pourewa this morning! @AUTuni @autresearch #naturebasedsolutions

In 2019 this area was kikuyu grass and the odd privet, an old pony club that had finally been returned to its rightful owners Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. Now it’s already transforming to mixed native forest…. And yes the ngaio really took off!

@KorimakoEcology We need to be optimising management of our indigenous ecosystems just like we optimise agricultural land uses. Yes there are cost issues with ecological management but let’s address them rather than accepting compromises which perpetuate current crises.

[Dr Adam Forbes @adamsforbes]

@KorimakoEcology 1/2 I agree in some contexts (eg some grasslands) grazing helps maintain native communities but here I think it is resistance to change. Policy is driving people to adopt appropriate land use (retirement) and invest in targeted pest control.
