The benefits of leaf litter, the fungi that consume it and recycling it into the soil are now being recognised. Our current process is to clear paths, chop up anything that falls on the grass and add it back to the turf. The general policy is to leave what we can to be broken down and added to the soil
environment Taranaki Regional Council Tree Unit 19 Study 6 Erosion Erosion is the wearing away and loss of land by the action of water or wind. In Taranaki we have some erosion problems. • Erosion sometimes occurs in Taranaki when trees and other plants have been cleared off steep hill country. This causes slips when waterlogged soil falls off the solid base. Solution: plant trees to hold the soil together, and soften the rain falling on the land. The roots
