The next four years, and possibly beyond, will see many more trees planted in the Nelson Region as a result of Government incentives and Council projects such as: forestry retirement; Nelson Nature Bio-corridors and Halo Projects; and an increase in riparian plantings. It is estimated that over the next four years there could be up to an additional 100,000 trees per year planted across Council’s environmental programmes, retired forestry programme, and Parks conservation reserves.
Ensuring a reliable source of supply for these plants is critical as Government contracts are likely to be in place which will require auditing of plant survival. While plants could potentially be brought in from outside of the Nelson Region, these would not meet eco sourcing requirements and even if seed is collected locally, they would be grown under different environmental conditions.
The objectives of establishing a panel of suppliers for eco-sourcing of native plants are:
(a) To ensure a reliable source of plants appropriate to local conditions including climate, soil and aspect are available to meet demand
(b) To ensure that eco-sourced guidelines are adhered to and locations of seed supply are able to be tracked and reported on
(c) To give assurance to Council and the community on the availability of plants, as well as providing assurance to nursery suppliers that demand will match supply.
Council intends to contract the panel of suppliers for eco-sourcing of native plants for a 5-year period, and to allocate work during that period by issue of service order/s. Regardless, Council reserves the right to refresh or expand the Panel during the contract period.
