Gulf Branch Planting Guide
T= members involved in restoration projects with Hauraki Gulf Forest and Bird have produced a 52-page guide for planting natives. Entitled Greening our Gulf Islands it contains a lot of practical experience, some of its also useful on the surrounding mainland. The authors have been involved in revegetation projects on Waiheke Island, near Auckland, and indeed subtitle their booklet A manual for native revegetation with special reference to Waiheke. Don Chapple has been working as a volunteer, albeit full-time, on the Society’s
Atawhai Whenua reserve for seven years (Forest ¢& Bird, August 2000). Rachel Ebbett and Ivan Kitson are the other authors. Inexpensive modern methods of book publishing are certainly helping groups like this to make a permanent record of their experience. Together, such publications are beginning to amount to a useful store of knowledge on the practical side of conservation. The book has been nicely designed, has a short colour section, and appendices of plant names.
