Tree Tour - Brad Cadwallader, NZ Notable Trees Trust
Saturday 11th of November 8.30am – 11.30am
Abstract
Tour bus will depart ITL Stadium at 8.30 a.m. and will initially travel to Anderson House & Park. Delegates will see several significant trees including the largest Chilean pine (Araucaria araucana) in NZ. We will take time to measure this tree to update the NZ Tree Register and also measure the large weeping wych elm (Ulmus glabra ‘Horizontalis’). The remainder of the tour will focus on visiting several other weeping elms, and hopefully spot any elusive Camperdown elms along the way.
We will then travel to Otepuni Gardens and walk through to Queens Park (2-3km) where delegates can then independently choose to take in the Masters Final of the NZTCC, and/or further explore the Gardens and then make their own way back to their accommodation.
(Come prepared for whatever weather might be encountered!).
