Coronation Forest Planting

Ten years ago last month school children from roost areas in the Nelson district commenced the planting of trees in the Coronation Forest on Spooner's Range and they have done so every year since then. Last month the area was again visited and a further 15 acres of trees planted, bringing the total acreage in 10 years to 143.
