KT023 Kauri Trees Forest | Roadside Sign | April 2024

Amazing work guys. I'm assuming these trees aren't for harvest. Are you looking at getting some form of protection for the site ?

[@kauritrees]

The trees are definitely not for harvesting, though some thinning is expected to be required of the Kauri trees in year 25 and year 80. I haven't considered any formal protection for the forest. Its existence and significance should afford it protection.

A really odd project. Not quite pine but not an endemic species, just a newer version of a grand Victorian exotic garden. Why not invest your time and effort into restoring the local ecology?

[@kauritrees]

The transformation from pasture to indigenous forest, with more than 30 varieties of trees and plants endemic to coastal Otago, will provide greater support of indigenous fauna, and be a positive contribution to the local ecology.
