  • Rewilding In Action - 07 - Knocking Back the Grass
    Rewilding and herbicides aren't seen as natural bedfellows. However botanist Associate Professor Janice Lord has found that using a grass-specific herbicide in certain places on dense grass has helped to kick-start natural native forest regeneration. In this episode I visit Janice on her north-facing coastal farm at Kuri Bush south of Dunedin City where she and her partner are rewilding a forest gully and streams. Join Janice as she shares her knowledge about the rare plants popping up, as well as her excitement about the re-gravelling of the stream bed after the October flood.

  • Rewilding In Action - 06 - Rewilding in Aotearoa New Zealand
    The purpose of Rewilding is to enrich the biodiversity of degraded ecosystems. But what exactly is Rewilding and how does it differ from other biodiversity recovery approaches? In this episode I chat with reintroduction biologist Professor Phil Seddon from Otago University who has examined the Rewilding approach in depth through his academic research. We discuss what makes Rewilding different and how it can contribute to our goals to restore biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz

  • Rewilding In Action - 05 - Spongy Urban Gardens Rich in Wildlife
    Climate change and biodiversity loss often go hand in hand - but fortunately so do the solutions. In this episode of Rewilding in Action I visit the garden of urban ecologist Professor Yolanda van Heezik from Otago University. We discuss 'Garden Rewilding' particularly in the context of the broader urban landscape, and the value of gardens to reduce extreme flooding events in urban areas. Yolanda explains how and why we should allow our own gardens to become that little bit wilder - for nature’s sake - and ours. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz

  • Rewilding In Action - 04 - Te Ao Maori vision of Rewilding
    04 - Te Ao Maori vision of Rewilding - Could the plaintive calls of Buff Weka once again be heard across the Otago Peninsula? It’s already a special refuge – for breeding penguins like hoiho and kororā, for toroa Northern Royal Albatrosses and tarāpunga Red-billed Gull colonies. In this show I chat with my guests Hoani Langsbury and Tūmai Cassidy about some of the commonalities between their Māori world view, knowledge and vision – and those of Rewilding. They tell me how the values behind Te Ao Māori are guiding ecological restoration on the peninsula particularly as it relates to the possible reintroduction of Buff Weka.

  • Rewilding In Action - 03 - Cook's Scurvy Grass, Gulls and Ticks
    It’s easy to take our red-billed gulls tarāpunga for granted or to see them as a nuisance. But we’d miss them if they weren’t around - and so would our coastal ecosystems. On Sept 9th, I came to end of the Otago Peninsula to visit the tarāpunga colony, and to meet my guest Hoani Langsbury. Through the lens of Mātauranga Māori or Māori Knowledge, Hoani explains why Cook’s Scurvy grass is rewilding here – thanks to the gull colony and the ticks that likely build up in the soil beneath the colony. This episode of Rewilding in Action is sponsored by the Otago Peninsula Trust. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz
