Wilding conifer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilding conifers, also known as wilding pines, are invasive tree species in New Zealand.
In the South Island, they threaten 210,000 hectares of land administered by the Department of Conservation. The wilding conifers are considered to be a threat to biodiversity and to landscape values since they become dominant in areas that are considered to be natural environments.
