Thanks to Richard Taylor, we have time-series of photographs of the restored wetland area on Julie Turner’s property (corner Tenetahi and Pakiri Rds) taken between 31/1/11 and 3/4/16. The first 5 photographs were taken in 2011 when the area was fenced and Ponsonby Primary planted the first plants with Trees for Survival. The other photographs show the effects of regular follow-up weeding which was carried out between 2012 and 2014 to ensure survival of the plants. The final photograph shows how well established the plants have become and that all the hard work has paid off.
