    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the native planting project of dairy farmer Gary Watkins in which he planted almost 5000 giant kauris, native plants on his Arapahue runoff in northland, New Zealand. He informs that willows were planted to protect and shelter 3000 Manuka and Kanuka bushes along with other plants. Topics include working in the dairy industry for 24 years, the 151 hectare Ruawai farm owned by his parents and his stake in a 349 hectare dairy farm in Southland.
