Hibiscus Coast branch protects forest
JUST NORTH of Auckland at Puhoi stands a testament to the enthusiasm and commitment of our newest branch, Hibiscus Coast. Owners of a 100-ha block of forest called Dunn's Bush wanted it to be covenanted with the QEII National Trust. This involved erecting a 1.7km fence on moderate to steep hill country with limited
tractor access. Therefore the local branch organised a fencing gang which carried in 450 posts and 2000 battens, as well doing the actual battening work. The grateful owners now have a fine area of native bush protected under a covenant and fenced against stock invasion.
