It’s been a while since I posted about Christchurch’s Heritage & Notable trees but the fundraising is still ongoing<\/a> — and the need for funds still acute — so I thought you might like to meet a few more of the trees in question.<\/p>\n

\"Arts<\/a>Meet the Arts Centre Copper Beech:<\/h3>\n

According to the NZ Notable Trees’ Trust, the Arts centre copper beech\u00a0 is “perhaps one of the most outstanding exotic trees in Christchurch” — but initially it (and the other Arts Centre trees) weren’t even assessed by the Council. The tree is looking a tad wintry in this shot, but you can see it has a really nice shape and will be glorious in summer. I look forward to the day when I can get to sit under it again.<\/p>\n

\"Northern<\/a>Meet the Le Bons’ Bay Northern Rata:<\/h3>\n

This Northern Rata, located at Le Bons Bay on Banks Peninsula, is reputedly both the largest and oldest of this species within the wider Christchurch City area.<\/p>\n

It is said to be in the region of 150 years of age—it still looks pretty durned good though, doesn’t it?

\"48<\/a>Meet the 48 Park Terrace Oak:<\/h3>\n

This is a standout tree in the central city area surrounding Christchurch’s Hagley Park — but like the two trees above, the Council didn’t think it warranted continued inclusion in the Plan.<\/p>\n

The group I’m supporting have a different view — but they’re still really up against it in terms of fundraising and trying to maintain a presence in what is now an extended hearing process.<\/p>\n

The team will really appreciate it. But most importantly, you’ll be helping keep these trees in the Christchurch landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
