North Shore Wilds website launched

Hi Neighbours,

The North Shore Wilds website has just been launched at northshorewilds.co.nz. The link is in the "Read more" button below.

There is a lot more information still to be added to the North Shore Wilds site. We will now be able to describe our services fully, with some illustrated examples of our work.

The spelling ... north shore wilds ... is easy, but remember, if you have to type it into a search, it's "wilds"...plural... and why, you ask?

Well, we are not proposing that the entire North Shore should be wild... (living in trees can be inconvenient)... just that our locally native species and the character of our local wild nature are conserved, recognised and enjoyed, and given a place in our gardens where possible.

"Wilds" is a term used informally to cover plants whose ancestry is entirely wild; ie they grew wild from wild parent plants, or were cultivated from seed collected from known wild plants in the ecological area in which they are to be planted...ie they are "ecosourced".

Our little plant nursery ecosources only from the North Shore, so our plants are "North Shore wilds", with the genetic characteristics that evolved to make them perfect for their North Shore situation.

Seedling photos below are of kauri, Psuedopanax (five-finger) and tanekaha, and were taken on a North Shore Wilds project in the Hillcrest area.

The pink flower is kotukutuku / NZ native tree fuchsia /Fuchsia excorticata, on an old tree which has overhung Kaipatiki Stream in Glenfield for several decades, (photo 2018 by Jacqui Geuz, iNaturalist.nz.org).
