Putuone Walkway upgrade-Tree destruction
We have now found out that the Takapuna end of the Patuone walkway upgrade will require that between 12 - 20 karaka trees will have to be destroyed. This makes no sense at all. Local volunteers have been monitoring a pest control line for some years here to support the NWWLink.
In the book 'Auckland's Remarkable Urban Forest' by Mike Wilcox this is described as a little rock forest with karaka, kohekohe and swamp maire. There is also a kahikatea tree that is between 100-200 years old. Kereru, tui, fantail are seen here and kaka have also been recorded.
