Regional guides for planting natives
We have collated local info sources with links to regional guides, local case studies, or contacts of local groups involved in planting and managing natives for every region in New Zealand. This can be really helpful as what tree you would plant in Auckland, for instance, might be really different to species that would be best in Invercargill.
