Marlborough alone needs at least $10 million a year to keep conifers under control. Across New Zealand, more than 2 million hectares have already been affected.

So we’re wondering… What do you think is the best way to tackle the wilding pine problem?

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
