Shelterbelt Trimming & Removal
With years of local experience, the right tools and a keen eye, we are here for all shelterbelt trimming and removal services. We travel throughout the Bay of Islands and Northland areas addressing shelterbelt problems. Trust us, we’ve seen it all.
Shelterbelts are a common feature of the North Island landscape. In Bay of Islands, large cypress shelterbelts were planted in the 1920s and 30s, which dominate the landscape today. The most common species previous generations used were the lawn cypress and macrocarpa.
While many still provide excellent shelter to cattle and hold nutrients in the topsoil, shelterbelts can prove to be an enormous hindrance when they have finally outlived their purpose. For example, recent discovery has found that pregnant cattle may lose their calves if they eat macrocarpa leaves. To protect the calves, ArborAid has been assisting to remove many shelterbelts around Northland.
