Tree planting
Sir, — Congratulations to S. L. Woodham (August 2), for a timely letter. Tree planting in New Zealand is important, and, by and large, highly successful. In 150 years, the Canterbury Plains have been transformed from a treeless windswept environment to highly productive fanning and forestry enterprises. The Canterbury Arboretum Association is taking a leading part in trees with a
potential for not only new forestry products but also for environmental value. We are a small, knowledgeable and enthusiastic group, who have for 14 years been extending the range of species at Orton Bradley Farm Park, Lyttelton Harbour, and the H. E. M. Hart Memorial Arboretum, Lake Coleridge. The work of this association contributes to the conservation of plant material in New Zealand, and also to the educational and recreational aspects of forestry. We need more members to help with the ever-increasing work. — Yours, etc., ROSS MacKENZIE, President, Canterbury Arboretum Association. August 9, 1989.
