Cluster of large tawa in centre of site. Further surveys are required to fully assess suitability. These will be completed when conditions are suitable for detection / emergence. Suitability for vent site: Site 16 is not suitable as a vent shaft site due to the large tawa trees. The site is located between Sites 11 and 12 and is suitable as a buffer for these two sites depending if, and where, frogs are found in Sites 11 and 12. Reference Cree A. (1989).
