The wilding pines are already well established
with infestations of up to 2000 seedlings
per hectare.
If left as it is, an estimated 61,000 hectares
of high country and pastoral land would
revert to self-seeded, dense pine forest
within 50 years.
The Mid Dome Wilding Trees Trust and
Environment Southland have developed a
12-year programme to tackle the problem. The
funding they have been awarded from the
Lottery Grants Board’s Environment and
Heritage Committee, among other agencies, has
been a much-needed boost to a vast project.

Trust member Alan Mark, Professor of Botany
at Otago University, says he is ecstatic about
the Lottery grant. The $250,000 will enable
an extra 140 hectares of spraying to be
carried out and a further 750 hectares of
ground control to go ahead.
Professor Mark says the various bodies
undertaking the work are fighting to preserve
important biodiversity and indigenous
ecosystems, and this grant will help them
fight the battle.
