Lowland Forest Planted in Wairarapa
ore than 200 people turned up to plant 1500 trees on Earth Day in Masterton (left). ‘The number of general public who turned up exceeded all expectations, according to Chris Peterson of Wairarapa Forest and Bird. The branch is attempting to re-establish a lowland native forest on a 5.5 hectare site, working with
Masterton South Rotary. Now the district council has made the forest an official ‘municipal memorial’ to mark the millennium. A specimen of what is believed to be New Zealand’s third-rarest plant, Olearia hectori, was donated by the Department of Conservation and planted by the Mayor, Bob Frances.
