Chris Marshall12:10, Jun 02 2021 CHRIS MARSHALL/Stuff The flat rocks at Whakamoenga Point near Lake Taupō’s well-known Māori rock carvings. An agreement ensuring continued public access to the iconic flat rocks of Lake Taupō’s Whakamoenga Point has been formally signed off. The Whakamoenga Point Lakeshore Reserve incorporates the lake’s nearby Māori rock carvings, frequently used in material marketing the Taupō district, though there is no walking access to the carvings. At a signing ceremony at Nukuhau’s Rauhoto Marae on Friday, the agreement between the Taupō District Council and Rangatira Point Block Incorporation was hailed by both parties as an opportunity for further collaboration.

Lakeside wilding pines targeted

Supplied Contractors felling one of the large pines close to the Rangatira Point Walkway. Poisoning the other pines, which aggressively outcompete native trees, was much better for the forest than widespread felling, she said. “They slowly break down over time. Better that, rather than going in there with logging equipment which destroys the surrounding forest in the extraction process and creates bare soil where new pines are likely to germinate.” Poisoning meant seeds in the cones were also killed so less germination underneath, Delich said. Some of the trees have been around for a long time, with the contractors counting 86 annual rings on one.
