It can be done for a song (or two) and some nurturing conversation
The Government’s esteem for science and science-based research findings can be gauged from a press statement released by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
The statement gives a progress report on a New Zealand Forest Services’ partnership with a marae-based tree-growing project and its grant of nearly $500,000 over two years through the One Billion Trees (1BT) programme.
It suggests the money has been well spent because – it transpires – the trees being grown on the marae are out-performing trees grown elsewhere.
