Coronation Forest Planting

Pupils from schools in the Nelson area recently planted and pruned trees in Coronation Forest. This project, run by the Nelson Education Board, on Spooner's Range, is an annual event and is an important contribution to conservation. The accompanying photographs were taken for "Photo News" by Trevor Forde.
