Following a successful harvest of the Coronet Forest, the contract to ‘recloak’ the area with natives has now been awarded to Te Tapu o Tāne and e3Scientific Limited.
The project aims to bring back native species of tawhai rauriki (mountain beech), kōwhai, kōhūhū (pittosporum) and kapuka (broadleaf) to the base of the Coronet range, and allow biodiversity to return to the area.
