I am looking for Department of Conservation environmental monitoring data for 3 environmental monitoring plots located within the Waitakere Ranges: Plot #s CF40, CG40, CG41 and CH41. This would be best if in an ArcGIS shapefile layer. I would like any data collected during environmental monitoring, of different types -- vegetation, pest plant and animal, bird counts, etc, along with geographic coordinates for the plots.
This data will be used in my MSc Thesis in Environmental Science. Part of my thesis research involves the creation of a summary of environmental monitoring in the forest systems of the Waitakere Ranges Heritage area. This summary will inform the creation of cultural indicators for enviromental monitoring working with the mana whenua of the region.
More information required about request
The Department of Conservation is unable to provide you with a response under the Official Information Act 1982, as there is not enough detail in the request. The Department does have a data request portal though, and a request generated through this will ensure we do have the detail we need: https://www.doc.govt.nz/data-request. Some of the data of interest would also come from the National Vegetation Survey. This is the national repository for vegetation data. The portal for requesting data can be accessed via the following link: https://nvs.landcareresearch.co.nz/Data/Search.
