Poll: Should Arrowtown's iconic autumnal trees get the chop?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

The people of Arrowtown face a looming dilemma: lose a large section of the town’s colourful autumnal background or face an ecological disaster.

Resident Richard Newman has raised concerns that German Hill, which provides a prominent tree-covered backdrop to the west of central Arrowtown, is being denuded of its colourful larch trees.

“It’s environmental vandalism,” he said.

However, landowner representative Jo Booker said the larches were invasive pests that were spreading into the surrounding back country.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
