The Pines Campground at Araps - What's happening! 20-Nov-2014 At 2:38:38 PM kieranl

I believe that these matters will be discussed at the next Arapiles Advisory Committee meeting which I understand is next Monday.
I think Keith Lockwood, Gordon Poultney, Meg Sleeman, Tracey Skinner and Louise Shepherd are people associated with climbing on the committee so if you want to say something get a quick comment to one of them - probably too late for a multi-page manifesto.
I think a planned planting in the camping areas is required. A mix of slow and fast-growing native trees/shrubs suitable for a camping area. Maybe plant something distinctive in the pines area to recognise its origins as a commemorative plantation. But please let's forget radiata pines - we can acknowledge history without being obliged to repeat its mistakes.
