Trees Damaged at Waikanae.
Damage to trees in the planting scheme at the Waikanae Beach is still a matter of concern to those interested in the development of the Waikanae Park and the property owned by the Waikanae Beach Improvement Society. Attempts to grow Norfolk pines have almost had to be foregone on account of the temptation to break out the tender centres of the young trees being found too strong for some visitors to the beach. The most recent mischief has been the ring-barking of two sturdy ngaios with a pocket knife. It is possible that the trees will recover because immediate action was taken in an attempt to heal the injury. The beach caretaken, Mr. W. Gray, considered that the damage must be done by visitors to the beach late at night or in the early hours of the morning.
