Source to Sea: Native Plants & Where to Plant Them will guide you through identifying native seedlings and choosing the best location to plant them.

While we have developed this guide for the use of our field team and the residents we are working with this year, we believe it a useful guide for anyone interested in native revegetation or plant identification.

This guide features 46 native plants that would have once been abundant here in Ōtepoti/Dunedin. Each page features photos of the plant as a seedling and adult. Included are brief descriptions of the juvenile and mature form, the plant spacings and expected height, and the ecosystem in which they thrive.

A digital copy is available here (small size) for you to download free of charge. Or, contact us for a high quality version to print.

A planning guide to native forest restoration for landowners with native forest remnants will help you develop your own plan to suit your specific site.

It is a booklet full of information and all the important questions you need to consider. It includes practical tasks to complete which all feed into your own restoration plan.

We have a printed version for sale for $15 incl p&p. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a copy.

Alternatively, it is available here (small size) for you to download.

This planning booklet is a companion document to “Forest Restoration Planning and Planting Guide for Landowners in the Halo Project area” (below). Purchase the pair for $15 incl p&p.

Halo Project Robin Survey 2018-2019

Tracking Tunnel Monitoring 18-20

Toolbox introduction and guide (1st edition) (PDF)

A document to guide communities through planning their own predator control. We have included a load of examples of what we did. We have organised these into three folders of resources:

• Folder 1: Community engagement examples

• Folder 2: Best practice guides

• Folder 3: Community predator control plan example and template

The Halo Project rolled out community trapping programmes around Orokonui Ecosanctuary since 2017.

Biodiversity outcome monitoring is essential to inform how well predator control operations are performing.

South Island robins, reintroduced into Orokonui in 2010-2011, are dispersing into the Halo area.

Robins are vulnerable to mammalian predation, which makes them a good species to monitor to assess the effectiveness of predator control.

Community-led predator trapping, designed for best practice stoat and possum control, began in the Halo Project’s 3,900 ha Inner Halo in 2017.

Although increasing numbers of predators are being caught, trapping does not give an indication of how many – and what species of – predator remain in the area.

Monitoring mammalian predators using tracking tunnels met the Halo Project’s criteria for reliable, cost-effective monitoring that could involve the local community in data collection.
