scheme, the Carvers have planted exotic forestry and retired native bush on 47 hectares of highly erodible land. They’ve completed more than 3 kilometres of fencing, with another 3 under way. They’re stabilising slopes with poplar and willow poles they’re growing themselves. They’re also fencing and planting waterways on their dairy property. And the Carvers are retiring, covenanting, fencing and protecting 97 hectares of mature native forest with assistance from STDC, QEII Trust and the TRC’s Key

coastal tree daisy (Olearia solandri). Sedges include Schoenoplectus validus
and Baumea rubiginosa.
New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia trigyna) and the convolvulous Calystegia
sepium, are scattered throughout the flaxland. Pine (Pinus radiata), some
poplars (Populus sp.), bracken (Pteridium esculentum) and umbrella sedge
(Cyperus ustulatus) border the edges of this wetland vegetation.
Weeds - Low There are numerous exotic species in recently retired/planted
pastoral margins and on the forest periphery, although the density
of these is currently low. Within the forest area the overall the
incidence of pest plants that threaten biodiversity is currently low
at the site.

Blanking
Not all of the poles planted will strike. 100% survival of
a planting is rare; 90% after the first year is a good
survival rate. Sometimes due to adverse conditions such
as cattle damage, possum browse or summer drought,
survival drops to 50% or less.
Where mortality is heavy, it’s essential to blank (re-
plant) next winter. If this isn’t done, tree spacing won’t
be sufficiently dense for roots to anchor the soil, and

Introduction
A pole is a young tree stem between one and three
metres long, which roots and sprouts when planted in
the ground. The advantage of planting a pole instead of
a seedling, is that its height gives it a ‘head start’, so it is
less likely to be damaged by browsing animals. Many
tree species can be pole-planted; the main ones used in
New Zealand are poplars and willows. This is because
they have the additional advantages for erosion control,
of being fast-growing and
