The correspondent who sent us these photographs stated that this country was originally covered with heavy totara, matai and a little rimu. Up to August last year 80 to 90 ewes were run on this face, but now it will barely carry 50. Readers will note the shingle slide which will cover the fertile lands below. Where native bush is milled or destroyed native trees should be planted. Photo F. Chatfield.
