Wilding Pine Control
The Trust's flagship programme is the removal of wilding pines from the Marlborough Sounds.
Wilding pines are a significant problem in the Sounds, undermining its scenic qualities and threatening native flora and fauna. In some parts of the Sounds wilding pines are overtaking native plants as the dominant species.
For the first time, through the Trust’s activities, a strategic and planned approach to wilding pine control will be undertaken in the Sounds and on a scale far larger than any work done previously.
Here you can find background information on the pine control programme. Updates on progress of the programme will be available through the Trust newsletter.
