Help us solve the mystery of the city’s founding forest!

Tucked away between Waimea St, Pembroke St and Frankley Rd is a recreational area known variously as Waimea Stream Reserves, Salaman Simpson Reserve and more recently Founders Plantation. The land was a farm belonging to Abraham Wally Mohamad Salaman in the 1930s. It passed on to his wife Annie Salaman Simpson who sold it to Riddick Brothers and Still in the late 1950s. They subdivided the area, with the land bordering Waimea stream gifted to the Council as reserve contribution. By the early 1990s it was fairly derelict, and Merrilands Lions (sadly no longer in existence) teamed up with the Taranaki Founders Society to plant 1991 native trees to commemorate the city’s 150 th Jubilee . Two large stainless-steel monuments document the many hundreds of individuals, families, societies and businesses who donated trees and helped to plant them. The inscribed names and messages can be found in the attached pdf file – is your family among them??



New Plymouth Central Lions have taken on the task of looking after the plantation, with many working bees organised to clean up weeds and invasive trees, and plant more native trees and shrubs supplied by NPDC. Methanex and Dialog Fitzroy have also lent a hand. We would love to know whether there is a map or grid reference in existence that shows where people planted their trees (you can see in the photo that the trees are laid out in a very orderly fashion). Please contact us if you are aware of one!



We also hope to hold a public BBQ to welcome back those families that have ancestors or members or businesses that planted or sponsored trees. We hope you’ll come and see how your trees have grown and view your name on the memorial pylons and plaques, while sharing your family history that is now commemorated by the Founders Plantation. The planned date is Saturday 4 th of May at noon, with a couple of fall-back days if the weather is bad. Please let us know if you would be interested in attending this ( Contacts: Roger 027 554 7006 Charles 027 839 7775 )



We look forward to hearing from you!

Green thumbs are being asked to watch out for a beautiful but toxic flower that could be growing in their backyards.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.

Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.

Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.
