'The Forest Hill Scenic Reserve is regarded as one of the most important in Southland. This tree is possibly the biggest specimen of its type in the region. The 578 hectare reserve was established in 1938 and while some of the trees have been felled, new trees are regenerating. There are also many Matai growing along the walking track which have average circumferences around 4m'. Baird 1992. This tree was blown over on 17 January 2005. An article appeared in the Southland Times 1 February 2005 recording this loss of a landmark tree. Estimated by DOC.to be approximately 800 years old. Baird 2005. |
