A survey of rare plants has been completed at Waikato s internationally significant Whangamarino Wetland, with excitement over the rediscovery of a seldom-found carnivorous species.
It s been more than a decade since threatened plants have been surveyed at Whangamarino Wetland, with the last survey undertaken in 2009.
Covering almost 7000 ha in the Waikato, Whangamarino is the second-largest freshwater wetland in the North Island and one of three Ramsar (internationally significant) wetlands in the Department of Conservation s (DoC) Hauraki-Waikato-Taranaki region.
