Effects of spraying

A month on spraying has killed grasses but not had an impact on trees. This pic is taken in the forestry cluster on the south site. 

The June bird survey was carried out under persistent drizzle – no new  bird species seen. Only unusual species was a Silvereye.

Redwoods on the north site are putting on new growth and do not seem to have been affected by the spraying. 

The spray seems to have had more impact on the grasses than flat weeds – only time will tell!

We hope to, at last, undertake direct seeding on the north site this September.

    Gib Wettenhall is interested in how  we carry out large scale landscape restoration that involves the people who live in those landscapes. That, he  believes, would build truly resilient landscapes.
