ENGLISH TREES
NEW SCHEME OUTLINED IN CANTERBURY The planting of other than pinus insignis trees was advocated by Mr P. Johnson when the North Canterbury Catchment Board received advice from the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Council that a £ for £ subsidy up to £2OO for the coming year would be available for riverbank protection, planting on reserves with a view to providing suitable timber for river control works and conservation planting on freehold and lease-hold properties. “We are on the eve of a new venture,” said the chairman (Mr W. Machin). “The scheme has the sympathy of the Government.” Mr Johnson said consideration should be given to the types of trees to be planted. The time had passed for planting pinus insignis all over the country. Many English . trees were unsuitable. Trees which were more lasting and could withstand a wind blow were needed.
