Report: TR 2020/12

Authors: M. Norris, H. Jones, D. Borman (Waikato Regional Council) M. Kimberley (Environmental Statistics Limited)

Abstract

Waikato Regional Council conducted four region wide surveys (2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017) to establish, and track changes in the state of fencing, vegetation, buffer width, waterway crossings and stream-bank erosion at sites on pastoral land across the Waikato region.

This report presents findings from the most recent survey (conducted during the summer/autumn period of 2017/2018 and referred to henceforth as the ‘2017 survey’) in conjunction with changes in measured attributes over the previous 5, 10, and 15-year monitoring periods.
