Good eco news from the nearby solar farm:
The plan is to plant 70,000 native plants grown from locally sourced seed in July. This will be a mix of of wetland shrub or duneland forest species such as harakeke (flax), wi wi and oioi (rushes), ti kouka (cabbage tree), coastal toetoe, whau, kānuka, mānuka, akeake and houpara. There will also be a pest management programme to prevent rabbits from eating the plants.
