TREE PLANTING
WORK OF AMENITIES SOCIETY During the past year the Dunedin Amenities Society purchased 1000 New Zealand red beech trees from Glenorchy and made £SO available to the City Corporation for the purchase of further stock for the city reserves nursery. In recording this fact, the annual report of the Dunedin Amenities Society states that the superintendent of reserves (Mr M. R. Skipworth) had reported the purchase of 500 trees —sft to 10ft in height—rowans, limes, beeches, kowhais, and others. Authority had been given for the purchase of a further £7O worth of trees for autumn planting. Street planting, the report adds, had been continued upon a moderate scale, planting having been carried out in some 14 streets. This was a valuable work which the society felt should be continued wherever it was possible to lay out strips in grass at the side of streets and provide the protective kerbing. The Belleknowes Golf Club had also done good work in planting trees.
