Christmas in the Pines! An annual tradition trying to find a lone wilding tree on the Road Reserve. Every year it ends up being taller than the ceiling!

Managed to take out several cherry trees while at it!

A bit of hot mahi at Te Ariki, Tarawera today helping Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council with clearing wattles on Tarawera. These seeds first came over in horse feed about 200 years ago and have spread throughout the regenerating canopy. Got the low down on BOPRC pest control and paid attention at H&S briefings.

Good chance to trial the electric pruner for the small cuts. Paired with picloram paste.

🌳🍒 Cherry Dropping Daddies Update! 🍒🌳

Over the October 7–8, we successfully cut and pasted more than 60 cherry trees and seedlings from two properties along Summit Road. It was a big job—and a beautiful step toward restoring balance to the landscape.

If you're a Summit Road resident and need help managing or removing cherry trees on your property, we’re here to help. Reach out and let’s keep the momentum going! 🪵🪓👱
