Rewilding In Action - 15 - From Gold to Green: Growing a native forest through gorse

When conditions are right, gorse can be a good friend to native forest - acting as a nursery crop for natural native forest regeneration. How does it do it? What native plants come through the gorse? What happens to the gorse when it has done its job? And when might we need to plant? In this episode Maureen Howard visits Volco, a rewilding property on Mount Cargill Road just north of Dunedin City to talk with forest restoration practitioner Hendrik Koch who is a Trustee of the property.
