Largest planting of Kauri in Aotearoa for decades

From Afternoons, 1:16 pm on 26 April 2023

On Monday we spoke to retiring indigenous forestry researcher, Greg Steward who mentioned a huge kauri planting project just outside of Dunedin.

About 20 thousand trees will be planted across 20 hectares of property in North Taieri - likely making it the largest planting of  NZ kauri in decades!

We got in contact with the property owner behind this mammoth task is Peter Parsons. He talks to Jesse.
