Tree planting
Sir,—The debate on tree planting in these columns between Clive Anstey, Jane Duncan and others has been interesting. This recent information may help both parties. The Department of Conservation at Arthur’s Pass has banned the collection of firewood within the park; and also frowns on chainsaw use. The department has advised residents to import firewood from Darfield. If the D.O.C. is still around with its regulation in 10 years, Mrs Duncan can plant her coppices with the hope of profit. I am pleased that the D.O.C. has thus ensured the preservation of the burgeoning crop of Granny Smith and Cox’s orange pippin which apparently delineate the highway through the park. Their delicate blossom will delight the future tourist, and relieve the gloom of the primeval beech forest. —Yours, etc., GEOFF DOBSON. April 5, 1989.
