- Future Work
- Folder worth looking through but low priority. Consult Waipoua Forest Trust and see latest developments on returning farmland adjacent to Waipoua Sanctuary to kauri forest (with natural totara?) with a manuka nurse. Was visited by A E Beveridge and M Wilcox in October 2006, see p.33 in Kauri Bulletin.

- General Note
- A few old hands who remember the plot locations are still around in settlements such as Kawerua. Barney Paniora still assists Stephen King in the Waipoua Forest Trust Nursery and field plantings. Stephen King could be an important source of information about Waipoua Forest.
