Special tree for river

Special tree for river

 

Yet another tree was planted at Chrystalls Bend on September 28 when the Friends of the Ōtaki River had their annual walkover.

In a demonstration of the parnership between the Friends and Greater Wellington Regional Council, riverside farmers Barry and Sue Mansell planted a tōtara, along with council chair Daran Ponter. The Mansell family have farmed at Ōtaki Gorge for about 90 years, and Barry was a founding member of the Friends.

 For Daran, it was the first time he had seen the work of the Friends.

“It was a real pleasure,” he said. “[There are] significant areas of planting along the river margins and trails that are going to be an asset to Ōtaki for generations to come.”
