There are some really special trees in Timaru District that tell a facninating story. They were planted for conservation, flood control, for shade, beauty or industry. Some of these trees where planted by people who knew they would never sit under their shade in their lifetime yet they had the forsight to plant the seed for a legacy of wonderful trees.
Here is a list of significant trees in the Timaru District Plan 2022, Visit: opendata.canterburymaps.govt.nz: https://arcg.is/0bumre
"The objective is focused on the identification of notable trees and protection of the identified values. Policy provides clear direction on when and how landowners can modify notable trees (pruning) and when supervision by an expert (a qualified arborist) is more desirable. Direction is given on assessment of new activity and development in proximity to notable trees and the importance of maintaining critical infrastructure is recognised. Policy gives direction on the circumstances in which resource consent could be granted to remove a notable tree." - Our Draft District Plan 2022 – He Po. He Ao. Ka Awatea. SUMMARY p16
