The light brown/cream colour bands in
the core (pictured left) between 55 - 70 cm
are likely caused by mud and soil washed
into the lake from the surrounding land.
Forest composition shifts dramatically when
Europeans settled in this region. Native forest
is removed, and the charcoal data suggests
increased burning in the surrounding
landscape. Following this European tree species

Sustainable land use initiative
This farm plan-based programme was initiated by Horizons
Regional Council in 2005/6 in response to serious erosion
and flooding in a 2004 storm. It targets highly erodible land
for afforestation or space planting with poplar poles. Farm
plans are in place on 669 farms in the target areas, covering
500,942 ha. Over 13.7 million trees have been planted as
forests and 165,900 poles planted to reduce the risk of
erosion and downstream flooding, along with 850 km of
contribute
significantly to aesthetic and scenic values. 53% total riparian cover, consisting of mixed
vegetation and exotic trees or pasture.

model trained on reference site data defined by land cover rules, and all available deposited sediment data.
As with the model output from the suspended sediment attribute, the dataset used to establish the
deposited baseline values was reported at the REC stream segment scale. Therefore we were able to assess
the percentage of stream length of each FMU within each attribute band, with

Murray Jackson, who’s seen excellent gains
from land he’s retired for forestry. In one area
alone, he’d lost five cattle over three years
before fencing it and planting pines.
“The Regional Council contributed towards the
funding, and the income from the trees – I think
it just makes so much sense. I’ve made more
money on my waste areas than the good areas I
