But an observation from me, you know how. 59 00:03:06,655 --> 00:03:10,695 Speaker 2: You know, there's the whole theory around ecological restoration and 60 00:03:10,855 --> 00:03:13,815 Speaker 2: if we create the right environment, we'll get wildlife back 61 00:03:13,855 --> 00:03:16,095 Speaker 2: into areas and that sort of thing. And we've started 62 00:03:16,135 --> 00:03:19,975 Speaker 2: to see it around Zelandia and Wellington. I can't tell 63 00:03:20,015 --> 00:03:22,735 Speaker 2: you how much excitement there is in my small town 64 00:03:22,775 --> 00:03:26,455 Speaker 2: of Devenport where it seems. And I don't know whether 65 00:03:26,495 --> 00:03:29,215 Speaker 2: this is directly related to the tremendous work of the 66 00:03:29,255 --> 00:03:34,575 Speaker 2: local Ecological Restoration Group restoring Takonghaki. But you know, there's 67 00:03:34,655 --> 00:03:39,415 Speaker 2: been real effort to sort of restore nature and people 68 00:03:39,455 --> 00:03:45,015 Speaker 2: are now regularly seeing sightings of kaka around Takarong, around 69 00:03:45,015 --> 00:03:48,855 Speaker 2: Mount Victoria. And isn't that just phenomenal. 70 00:03:49,335 --> 00:03:52,815 Speaker 3: It is absolutely wonderful. You're absolutely right, and that's exactly 71 00:03:52,815 --> 00:03:55,175 Speaker 3: what this is about. End of this week, we're going 72 00:03:55,215 --> 00:03:58,975 Speaker 3: to Wahki cool.

But the 82 00:04:21,655 --> 00:04:23,855 Speaker 3: point was I talked to the kids at the three 83 00:04:23,975 --> 00:04:26,175 Speaker 3: y Heki schools some time ago.

So 91 00:04:48,655 --> 00:04:50,895 Speaker 3: basically I trained him how to be really nice to 92 00:04:50,975 --> 00:04:54,055 Speaker 3: the locals who actually don't want to keep their dog 93 00:04:54,175 --> 00:04:57,335 Speaker 3: on the lead. I said, because when that happens, and 94 00:04:57,375 --> 00:05:00,215 Speaker 3: I'll promise I'll come to the island, I'll take my 95 00:05:00,295 --> 00:05:02,415 Speaker 3: sleeping bag and my mattress and we all go in 96 00:05:02,535 --> 00:05:05,935 Speaker 3: room three and we stay there.

Man, that it's happening this week. 101 00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:24,335 Speaker 2: It's fantastic because I saw a news article as well 102 00:05:24,415 --> 00:05:29,255 Speaker 2: that little spotted Kiwi being restored into the Upper North 103 00:05:29,255 --> 00:05:32,215 Speaker 2: Island as well, now into a sanctuary obviously, so that's 104 00:05:32,295 --> 00:05:36,295 Speaker 2: predator free. Where you're releasing Kiwi on waki, is that 105 00:05:36,335 --> 00:05:39,935 Speaker 2: predator free or is that just in an area of regenerating. 106 00:05:39,935 --> 00:05:42,695 Speaker 3: It is mostly predator free. There's still a bit of 107 00:05:42,735 --> 00:05:45,215 Speaker 3: a bit of thing going on, the trapping going on, 108 00:05:46,095 --> 00:05:48,975 Speaker 3: but you know, I think they're down to the last 109 00:05:49,215 --> 00:05:52,055 Speaker 3: maybe the last stoat because they can tell that from 110 00:05:52,055 --> 00:05:56,975 Speaker 3: the from DNA, and yeah, no, it's it's it's pretty cool. 111 00:05:57,135 --> 00:05:57,895 Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. 112 00:05:58,415 --> 00:06:00,775 Speaker 2: This is cool stuff. This is transformational, right, this. 113 00:06:00,775 --> 00:06:05,215 Speaker 3: Is you said it. You can see this evidence of 114 00:06:05,335 --> 00:06:09,855 Speaker 3: this happening all over the place and it's blinking brilliant. Yeah, 115 00:06:09,895 --> 00:06:10,335 Speaker 3: it's cool. 116 00:06:10,695 --> 00:06:13,855 Speaker 2: And to be fair, it's because people like and I 117 00:06:13,935 --> 00:06:18,255 Speaker 2: include you in this quite sincerely had that vision right 118 00:06:18,415 --> 00:06:22,455 Speaker 2: twenty thirty forty years ago, going hey, if we work 119 00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:27,455 Speaker 2: to rebalance our impact on the environment, then we'll see 120 00:06:27,535 --> 00:06:30,375 Speaker 2: this restoration. And I think it's bearing fruit, which. 121 00:06:30,175 --> 00:06:33,895 Speaker 3: Is also that's it, and it's called restoration, not conservation. 122 00:06:34,095 --> 00:06:37,095 Speaker 3: Conservation is very static. Yeah, I always said. I used 123 00:06:37,135 --> 00:06:39,615 Speaker 3: to say to Maggie Berry, which it was Minister for Conservation, 124 00:06:40,135 --> 00:06:45,295 Speaker 3: change your letterhead to the Minister of Restoration, rehabilitation, regeneration, 125 00:06:45,855 --> 00:06:49,455 Speaker 3: respect and all that, all the eye words you know 126 00:06:49,535 --> 00:06:52,895 Speaker 3: that do things. And it's exactly what we're doing now. 127 00:06:52,895 --> 00:06:54,095 Speaker 3: It's absolutely fabulous. 128 00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:58,055 Speaker 2: That's a great insight.

But listen, go and have a look 170 00:09:36,335 --> 00:09:38,575 Speaker 3: at night, because in the evening, quite often these things 171 00:09:38,575 --> 00:09:41,215 Speaker 3: are a bit more active and probably a bit more 172 00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:45,015 Speaker 3: detectable with a head towards if you like, and you 173 00:09:45,095 --> 00:09:47,935 Speaker 3: might find it that once you've got one of those 174 00:09:47,975 --> 00:09:51,095 Speaker 3: guys on your plants, you might have another fifty because 175 00:09:51,135 --> 00:09:54,015 Speaker 3: these these things quite often sit in the same tree 176 00:09:54,015 --> 00:09:56,335 Speaker 3: and they've got eggs that fall down, go onto the 177 00:09:56,415 --> 00:09:59,135 Speaker 3: same tree again, and it keeps going. I think if 178 00:09:59,295 --> 00:10:02,375 Speaker 3: unless you've got thousands of them, you should be absolutely fine. 179 00:10:03,175 --> 00:10:05,615 Speaker 5: Sounds good.

You know how sometimes 200 00:11:11,735 --> 00:11:13,695 Speaker 3: when you shift house or something, you have to find 201 00:11:13,735 --> 00:11:18,375 Speaker 3: a new doctor, a new dentist. I've just lost my 202 00:11:18,375 --> 00:11:23,215 Speaker 3: my Matt Palmer, who was my arborist. He's stopped doing 203 00:11:23,255 --> 00:11:26,135 Speaker 3: the job that he did for years and for twenty 204 00:11:26,175 --> 00:11:27,095 Speaker 3: three years or something like. 205 00:11:27,135 --> 00:11:29,175 Speaker 2: Wow, and he changing. 206 00:11:29,775 --> 00:11:33,895 Speaker 3: He would be the builder of my habitats, you know 207 00:11:33,935 --> 00:11:37,735 Speaker 3: what I mean. Ad found three Services was his gig 208 00:11:37,815 --> 00:11:41,255 Speaker 3: and I've unbeknownst, I didn't realize he was going that quick. 209 00:11:41,295 --> 00:11:43,895 Speaker 3: But there he is. And Ben and Jake, who used 210 00:11:43,895 --> 00:11:47,095 Speaker 3: to work from they have set up complete trees milling 211 00:11:47,095 --> 00:11:49,775 Speaker 3: and they're starting basically taking over if you like. But 212 00:11:49,855 --> 00:11:53,055 Speaker 3: it's always interesting how you've got these people that you 213 00:11:53,175 --> 00:11:55,415 Speaker 3: talk to, they come to your house, they do all 214 00:11:55,415 --> 00:11:58,015 Speaker 3: the bruning and all and all the dangerous stuff that 215 00:11:58,055 --> 00:12:00,535 Speaker 3: I'm a bit too old for, and then and then 216 00:12:00,575 --> 00:12:04,695 Speaker 3: suddenly go they're gone. Yeah, Oh well no, so I'll 217 00:12:04,735 --> 00:12:05,815 Speaker 3: give Ben and Jacoba. 218 00:12:07,215 --> 00:12:09,455 Speaker 2: While I was in Wellington yesterday, I chatted with a 219 00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:13,135 Speaker 2: guy John, who's a sort of semi retired accountant. Sprightly 220 00:12:13,255 --> 00:12:16,295 Speaker 2: eighty year old gentleman who I had quite a long 221 00:12:16,335 --> 00:12:19,455 Speaker 2: conversation later on. Now he rang and talked about the 222 00:12:19,575 --> 00:12:23,095 Speaker 2: periori moths ring barking his trees. If you can recall 223 00:12:23,135 --> 00:12:26,495 Speaker 2: that conversation. Anyway, we had a long discussion about all 224 00:12:26,535 --> 00:12:28,895 Speaker 2: sorts of things. In fact, we were talking a little 225 00:12:28,895 --> 00:12:32,055 Speaker 2: bit about, you know, as he moves further into retirement, 226 00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,615 Speaker 2: given he's already eighty years old. I hope you don't mind. 227 00:12:34,615 --> 00:12:37,775 Speaker 2: It doesn't mind me saying that, but yeah, you're right. 228 00:12:38,015 --> 00:12:40,815 Speaker 2: You know, I think in a professional sense, you know, 229 00:12:40,895 --> 00:12:44,215 Speaker 2: with builders and plumbers and arborists and so on, you 230 00:12:44,255 --> 00:12:47,175 Speaker 2: build relationships. But I guess we all, well, you'll never 231 00:12:47,295 --> 00:12:50,615 Speaker 2: seemingly retire, but people do move on, and then it's like, 232 00:12:51,015 --> 00:12:53,415 Speaker 2: what happens next. It's nice to hear that the business 233 00:12:53,495 --> 00:12:56,375 Speaker 2: is being handed down, let's say, or we're handed across 234 00:12:56,415 --> 00:12:59,935 Speaker 2: to sort of a young generation of young, agile, fit 235 00:13:00,255 --> 00:13:03,895 Speaker 2: people that can swing around on trees while wielding chainsaws. 236 00:13:04,255 --> 00:13:07,375 Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes total sense. Yeah, hey, and next week, 237 00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:09,855 Speaker 3: by the way, I'm going to be there's a new 238 00:13:09,855 --> 00:13:13,855 Speaker 3: book i'd called The Incredible Insects of a Right and 239 00:13:13,895 --> 00:13:16,295 Speaker 3: it'spoke two friends of my Son and Pollard and Phil 240 00:13:16,335 --> 00:13:20,015 Speaker 3: Servet and the three of us that the work at 241 00:13:20,055 --> 00:13:24,695 Speaker 3: the Papa, which was the bug Lab.

I'm going to tell my grandkids that. 275 00:15:10,575 --> 00:15:16,295 Speaker 3: Joke I told you one. 276 00:15:16,335 --> 00:15:16,575 Speaker 4: Pete. 277 00:15:16,615 --> 00:15:18,455 Speaker 7: I really like that song that you have in the 278 00:15:18,495 --> 00:15:21,775 Speaker 7: morning too, but it's not what I rang for. I 279 00:15:22,575 --> 00:15:30,695 Speaker 7: thank you, You're welcome. I've got the inside lily, and 280 00:15:30,735 --> 00:15:34,535 Speaker 7: they're getting brown tips and they're really getting sins. There 281 00:15:34,655 --> 00:15:37,455 Speaker 7: used to be very thick bushes, but now they're growing 282 00:15:38,055 --> 00:15:38,535 Speaker 7: very thin. 283 00:15:39,975 --> 00:15:41,335 Speaker 2: E E. 284 00:15:41,655 --> 00:15:45,495 Speaker 3: Fungal disease? Would that be it? What color? What color 285 00:15:45,535 --> 00:15:48,575 Speaker 3: does what color does it turn? Is there a fungal disease? 286 00:15:48,655 --> 00:15:49,055 Speaker 3: You think? 287 00:15:50,495 --> 00:15:57,535 Speaker 7: I'm really not too sure, but they go yellow? 288 00:15:58,415 --> 00:16:05,135 Speaker 3: Okay, I assume you haven't overwatered it. Well, it's possible, well, 289 00:16:05,175 --> 00:16:07,695 Speaker 3: that might be one. The other one is have you 290 00:16:07,775 --> 00:16:11,775 Speaker 3: fertilize it at all when it's started to grow. Well, 291 00:16:11,775 --> 00:16:13,735 Speaker 3: it would be a good idea. That could sometimes be 292 00:16:13,815 --> 00:16:16,735 Speaker 3: a cause for yellowing if it hasn't got enough tucker. 293 00:16:17,135 --> 00:16:20,215 Speaker 3: You know, you get a deficiency of nitrogen for instance, 294 00:16:20,735 --> 00:16:23,175 Speaker 3: to say something, and then you get these yellow leaves. 295 00:16:23,775 --> 00:16:27,135 Speaker 3: But there's also yellow for fungal diseases and things like that. 296 00:16:27,215 --> 00:16:30,095 Speaker 3: So it's really tricky to say what it could be. 297 00:16:30,535 --> 00:16:32,375 Speaker 3: But what I would do is make sure that you 298 00:16:32,415 --> 00:16:36,895 Speaker 3: give it a good dose of fertilizer at least once 299 00:16:36,935 --> 00:16:38,855 Speaker 3: a year. If not, you know, a little bit doesn't 300 00:16:38,895 --> 00:16:41,295 Speaker 3: have to be over the top, right, You know, a 301 00:16:41,295 --> 00:16:43,655 Speaker 3: little bit of seafood soup and seaweedte that sort of 302 00:16:43,655 --> 00:16:48,495 Speaker 3: stuff in the water would be fine, But that's quite 303 00:16:48,535 --> 00:16:50,655 Speaker 3: often the case. The other one is if you do 304 00:16:50,735 --> 00:16:52,935 Speaker 3: have a fungal disease, there will be other bits and 305 00:16:52,935 --> 00:16:56,415 Speaker 3: pieces coming on as well. It might become spotty and 306 00:16:56,455 --> 00:16:59,015 Speaker 3: things like that, and in that case you need a 307 00:16:59,135 --> 00:17:03,495 Speaker 3: fungal If you like a fungal material. 308 00:17:03,015 --> 00:17:06,175 Speaker 7: That stops what sort of spotty. 309 00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:09,735 Speaker 3: Well, if your leaves become spotty and yellow. That is 310 00:17:09,815 --> 00:17:12,375 Speaker 3: quite often a fungal thing. You know, the spot brown 311 00:17:12,415 --> 00:17:13,815 Speaker 3: spots for instance. 312 00:17:14,215 --> 00:17:16,895 Speaker 7: Brown spots right, because I can see a brown spot. 313 00:17:17,695 --> 00:17:20,615 Speaker 3: Yeah, one brown spot is maybe not enough to call 314 00:17:20,655 --> 00:17:22,855 Speaker 3: it a major disease, but you get it what I'm 315 00:17:22,895 --> 00:17:23,415 Speaker 3: talking about. 316 00:17:23,855 --> 00:17:28,575 Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, Well, thank you very much for that, Jaked, 317 00:17:28,735 --> 00:17:29,975 Speaker 7: it's a brilliant one. 318 00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:34,015 Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, but that's happened.
