Wilding Pines Public Information Night
The New Zealand Wilding Conifer Group invite you to this public information night about wilding pines in the Upper Clutha area. We’ll talk about what wilding pines are, their impacts, and what we can do about them.If we don’t act now wilding pines could cover more than 25% of New Zealand within 30 years. Every year wilding pines cost New Zealand millions of dollars in losses to primary production, resources spent on control and environmental costs.
All are welcome! If you’re keen to come or if you have questions, please contact Rowan Sprague at rowan@nzwildingconifergroup.org.
