Introduction
Resource consent was granted in August 2001 for the planting of a small grove of trees to replace the Monterey pine on One Tree Hill.
The initial planting was planned for June 2002 as a joint venture with relevant iwi. Auckland City Council decided to postpone the planting as
relevant iwi advised they were not yet ready to participate in the planting due to negotiations with the crown over treaty claims that involve One
Tree Hill.
Planting will now take place at a time when the relevant iwi is comfortable with being involved in a joint planting venture. This is currently
dependent upon resolution of treaty claim procedures.
Auckland City Council is currently involved in a seedling planting programme so that there are suitable seedlings ready to be planted once such
a time comes. Totara and pohutukawa Seedlings in the programme range in size from 0.5m to 3.5m.
Cuttings are taken of older stock in order to have the best size class available when planting occurs. Larger stock will be planted in
alternative sites.
The council consulted widely in an endeavour to ensure that whatever is planted will survive and will be respected by all. The
One Tree Hill summit, new tree planting - proposal outlines the proposals considered and their merits.
One Tree Hill has had a checkered history, from pre-European times to the modern day. A short history of the pine
outlines the hill's most famous moments.
Efforts have been made to ensure that the media has been well briefed on the replanting process.
