Native vegetation in Marlborough
THE MARLBOROUGH Branch recently helped finance the printing of a booklet identifying remnant native vegetation in the Wairau area. The 60-page booklet, Characteristics, Condition and Conservation Needs of Indigenous Vegetation in the Lower Wairau Catchment, was written by Dr Philip Simpson from the Department of Conservation. Branch secretary Barbara Jurgenson said the
branch felt the information was important in encouraging the community to take urgent action to protect remnant areas of native vegetation. A number of species described are not found outside the Marlborough region. The booklet is illustrated with maps and colour photographs. The branch contributed $300 and a branch member put up the same amount. Members plan to use the booklet to find suitable areas to start replanting programmes. The booklet is on sale for $7 (including postage) from the Treasurer, Forest and Bird Marlborough Branch, 24 Gascoigne Street, Blenheim.
