Flame Tree control/removal approved by Council arborist, Resource consent to be sought
Resource consent is being sought by a Council arborist for the control and/or removal of Flame trees (Erythrina sykesii) that have invaded the forest from a dense stand near the top of the bank on Glenfield Rd. Resource consent is likely to take some weeks.
After chemical control of all the Erythrina trees, Council contractors will monitor both live and fallen erythrina wood on site till it is thoroughly rotted. While monitoring the rotting invasive material, they will undertake remediation of the Flame Tree containment zone, controlling plant pests so that native revegetation can begin on the bank and continue in the forest below.
