Ben Lomond Mountain, Queenstown, NZ, 2/17/17

Ben Lomond Track above Queenstown, starting with a Gondola ride. Pine trees are not native to New Zealand. They grow fast and push out native plants. The name tag below indicates an area this person keeps free of invasive plants by periodically pulling non-native seedlings. Community groups, organizations, schools and families commit to doing their part. The picture with the dead pine trees shows a section of trees that have been sprayed. We saw this all over the South Island. By the way, the hike was spectacular
