THE UNSEEN - Saving NZ's purest waters, Te Waikoropupū Springs
The Unseen - this short documentary film invites you to witness the impassioned battle to protect our most precious body of water and inspires a call to action. Explore the resilience of those who strive to hold authorities accountable, urging us all to play a role in the preservation of our natural wonders. Through breath taking footage capturing the raw beauty of Te Waikoropupū Springs and the destructive mud farming practices, this documentary serves as a rallying cry for environmental stewardship and responsibility.
This would not have been made possible without film maker Timothy Firkin and animator Grant Nicholson, the support from Kevin Moran, Save Our Springs and the many people involved in this mammoth ongoing battle.
Thank you all for the support. Please leave a comment. It goes a long way. Thank you!

    Unfortunately there's a small group of people who use their delusion of victimhood to justify their lack of moral substance. It's not just crime, its a deep seeded sense of entitlement. The mental rot that nobody else should be here but them , so who cares I'm robbing you , you shouldn't be here anyway...Absolutely moronic and childish view of the world , taught to them by other idiots. Its a big world and people move from place to place. Deal with it. Luckily this view isn't held by the majority but its definitely growing.

    This is a great video about the purity of Te Waikoropupū Springs and how they should be protected so they don't end up like Ellesmere as filthy water filled with nitrates! Farmers need to protect our aquifers, lakes and rivers better by reducing (ideally stopping altogether) their use of nitrates. The government needs to pass legislation to reduce/abolish use of nitrates. We need to think about the future!

    Thanks for creating this great video for us and sharing the many information, experience and advice.South of Motueka at the South Island of New Zealand we plant - in stages - a narrow native corridor between two wetlands beside SH60. Along 10km on mainly crown land we have 15 year old weed infested land of wilding pine and wattle trees, gorse, blackberry broom etc., all on heavy dry clay.Have a look at our 3 minutes video to see what we are doing. ua-cam.com/video/pOatf-j1wWA/v-deo.html As a community project we clear the land, blanket spray and plant 4,400 trees per hectare, a so called "dry mix", including Manuka, Kanuka, broadleaves and already podocarps like Totara, all from local nurseries.My take from your video is that I need to check our fungal situation. You say that pastures have bacteria dominated soil and podocarps wouldn't grow that good. Would this be different where pine trees had been before? Would it make sense to apply fungal products like trichoderma? Do you have any experience with that? I was hoping that weed control is a subject of the past once we reach a canopy. But your comment on this is clear: NO! It is often hard to explain our funders that buying a tree and having a volunteer to put it into the ground while taking nice photographs is the smallest part of the cost and work! My message to all your viewers would be: get started to do something at your property, backyard or region! You don't need to know (much) about planting natives. Look for expert advice in your region, people who are already doing something similar and you will be amazed by the help you will receive (no project is too small or too big) www.tasmancommunity.org.nz/te-mamaku-drive-ruby-bay-bypass-corridor-planting-project

    ❤ thank you Geoff for your excellent video ❤ I've learnt a lot from it and been inspired 😊💚🌳💚 I planted pittosporum, corokia and coprosma with some kowhai, totara (the totara are slow growing) and olearia, as my nursery crop, in the Southern region of Tewai Pounamu (South Island, Aotearoa). I sourced many of my trees from local Forest and Bird people. At around 14 years they have canopied. No native trees have grown here for so long that it's only the trees that I've planted that are reproducing. Only recently have the mushrooms of different types started growing. I'm currently finding locally sourced ferns for under planting. My Ngahere is only a small area, but something is better than nothing! I've noticed more kereru, pipiwakawaka, and korimako here recently. The birds were here first before humans 💚🌳💚

    The standards in farm animal welfare are significantly higher in NZ than they are in Canada. This farm has a lot of pigs on it, but they have straw bedding, have access to the outdoors, and can interact with each other. Not to mention that the pigs all have their little curvy tails (so no tail docking, as I can see). Tail docking is common industry practice in Canadian industrial farms. In Canada, such a farm would be considered organic and of very high welfare standards.

    Have just found your video and couldn't agree more with what you are doing and if all countries followed your example the world might be a better place. I would give all to be in N. Zealand doing exactly the same as what you are doing. I have had 4 small farms in my life and have planter good quality trees on all 4 even the one am on now where I have had to grow my own trees from seed as only rubbish pines are available. I see that your government pays only for planting fast growing Radiater pine which is about as much use as a paper bag with a hole in it. Rather like the pines here paper and firewood. I love nature and am always striving to give her a helping hand, but would love to live in N. Zealand where you have much more empty land that I could endevour to re-generate and bring back too it's former glory and natural surrounding.

    We see a lot of revenge work where many species are planted and left to fend fro themselves (especially in urban areas). The Kanuka/Manuka establishment as nurse crops, combined with stock exclusions, the proliferation of diversity inherent in the soil seedbeds is astounding. Many of our large natives require a low-light environment to establish and canopy closure through manuka/kanuka at about 3-4mH provides this environment. Establishing 'islands' of bird attractors, using more dominant species creates a seed source that is spread through the emergent species. All without doing much after 3-years, quicker and better than mono-cultural pine forests. Good preparation and maintenance is essential to success.
