Learning about native plants
BRUCE TREEBY at The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand has developed an innovative course on New Zealand native plants. Its aim is to encourage and enable people to be active in restoring and protecting areas of native vegetation and to manage them sustainably. The course which is the most comprehensive of its kind ever put together covers: the importance of native plants, their ecology, protection and propagation; planting and revegetation; cultural landscapes and economic aspects. The resource material for the course contains 570 pages of text, 540 photographs and numerous graphics and woodcuts (by John Moore). You can start the course at any time of year and work at your own pace. Fees are currently being finalised. For more information contact Bruce Treeby on 0800-650-200 or write to TOPNZ, PB 31-914, Lower Hutt.
