Centre: Until the 1930s Depression, the Kaingaroa pumice plain was covered in unusual native frost flat vegetation dominated by monoao (Dracophyllum subulatum). Today virtually the entire Kaingaroa ecological district has been transformed to pines and pasture. Monoao-hebe-kanuka vegetation only survives in a small block on the Whakatu Crown lands and in the Rangitaiki State Forest along the Taupo-Napier road. Although both areas were zoned for farm development, the Society, DSIR and the Forest Service are now seeking protection of these areas as representative reserves. Photo: Graeme Loh
