Perhaps we need as individuals and as an Association, to petition the Department of Conservation as well as Mayors and Councils to protect winter over trees/sites? Just a thought about some intervention to try to save these environments from toxins and destruction.
Please share your thoughts.
FionaKAPITI ROAD WINTERING OVER TREE CUT DOWN
The wintering over Macrocapa (and nearby large trees) on Raumati Road have been felled today, and last week by the Council. Apparently the airport was complaining about the height of the trees and that are/were in the flight path. My neighbour asked about the houses on the nearby sand dune – higher than the trees – and asked if they also will be felled?
Kapiti also knocked down a hill nearby to the Monarch’s tree and that had many nectar sources on. They put up a car park.
In tune with Joni Mitchell’s protest song – In Kapiti we have “pulled down the trees and put up a parking lot”.
My neighbour and I are going to put forward a petition to save the remaining half of the hill and trees – and replant for the Monarchs. We aim to set up a reseve if we can.
If any of you are able to support this action please let ne know.The Butterflies are currently resting on several nearby shrubs.
My best, Fiona
