- Locality plans. Folder has entries for other trials but has initial measurements and details for podocarps planted in clusters, some with netting enclosures, in 3 localities: a) by Mangawiri Access Rd after 50% logging of dense rimu/tawa forest; b) after partial logging by Hydro Rd; and c) in an area burnt after clearing in totara-dominant forest in the Mangawiri Basin (see plans). No further measurements after 1976 planting, but some inspection notes dated July 1984 by A Neale are held in separate folder for SP RO 1072 (see TTT128).

- Should be assessed again, over 20 years since establishment. Growth rates and survival of 1970 plantings are very relevant to current restoration efforts by Ngati Whare.

- General Note
- Area in a) (see 'contents' above) was visited by Beveridge and Pardy in Feb 2004: some specimens of rimu and kahikatea up to 8m tall. Some early browsing of kahikatea had minor impact. No vehicle access to Hydro Rd.Performance of totara planted in 1976 in burnt area should be assessed if plot can be located. Group planted rimu and kahikatea have shown good survival and growth over 30 years.
