Ecology Action on a Fringe-Urban Hillside |
If all would lead
their lives in love like me,
Rich man, trust not in
wealth,
The towering presence of trees Will inspire lofty thoughts.

Check this space often for notices from these groups and others: The National Trust The QE11 National Trust as the country’s statutory protector of private land is not committed to the exclusion of the huge number of introduced species that have been planted in gardens and on farms all over New Zealand since Europeans arrived here . While some purists may disagree, our biodiversity has been enriched – which does not reduce the importance of maintaining all we possibly can of New Zealand’s unique indigenous biodiversity, especially where it is still in a virgin state. The over 2500 properties which now have covenanted areas with the Trust include virgin, exotic and mixed vegetation, often on the same site. One of these covenants is the notable Eastwoodhill Arboretum near Gisborne which claims the largest collection of Northern Hemisphere trees to be found South of the Equator.
