Nairnville Park macrocarpa hedge

Wellington City Council will remove the hazardous macrocarpa hedge from the western edge of Nairnville Park soon.  Work begins on 3 May and finishes three weeks later – weather permitting.

The trees have to go because:

• they are mature and in poor condition
• they are close to houses and the sports field
• several trees have already failed.

Council is  working on a landscape plan to replant the area this winter.

Council says the park will still be open for sport but walking tracks around the site will close during the project for safety reasons.  They will sell the useful timber and wood and mulch the rest.
