Growing a Native Forest that Lasts: A succession planting field day

Event organized by Motueka Catchment Collective's Biodiversity and Restoration group and run with the Moutere Catchment Group

Date: Friday 11 April

Time: 9am–12pm

Location: 95 Kelling Road, Upper Moutere

For landowners, farmers, lifestyle block owners and anyone wanting to grow a resilient native forest.

Learn how early plantings develop over time and how smart succession planning sets up long‑lived canopy species.

Hear from Wayne O’Keefe, a restoration specialist with over 20 years’ experience, alongside Fiona and Alastair at Lancewood Villa.

Take a guided walk through the QEII covenant to see natural regeneration, and where intervention has made a difference. Look over the planting areas to see how species are progressing. Finish at the river‑edge plantings to map out simple next‑steps.
