Government Funds Fight Wilding Pines | Auckland News

One million dollars is being poured into New Zealand’s fight against wilding pines—non-native trees choking farmland, threatening ecosystems, and raising fire risks. Backed by the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme, this new funding supports local groups, farmers, and volunteers tackling the invasive species on the ground. It joins a larger 109 million dollar national effort, giving grassroots fighters the resources they need to stop the spread before it’s too late. Applications open later this year—perfect timing for those already battling these environmental invaders. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
