That would be ridiculously costly to plant NA pines there.
And we're suppose to be the only intelligent life in the universe.
U would think it would be common sense but unfortunately people bring politics and money into it

Money,politics, are synonymous unfortunately.
It's disgusting.
Will Rogers, an American actor from long ago said, buy land they ain't making it anymore.
Now we have people who buy land because they think it is expendable because their greed knows no bounds.
I would wonder how such people live with themselves but their smart aleck answer would likely be, very well thank you.
There is no secret about Strahan...
Its a beautiful town on the wild west coast, surrounded by bush and built on mining and fishing industries
I think "hidden" is the word your looking for... Isolated and hidden
Unless your talking about THE secret...
But i don't reckon u would know THE secret anyway...
Only locals know THE secret...
Ok agreed, how about doing the pine growing on another Island, like the one off Oz that faces NZ. The Tas devils are tearing the place up as it is....lol
NZ does have some very unique ecosystems indeed. Hate to see them all disappear....Did you go the S. Island to Lake Wanaka and see the lonely willow tree there? Pretty sight...
The area around Lake Wanaka and further south, where the land is relatively flat, has been settled by people of Scottish descent, and their trademark is to strip the land of all trees. It is luck to even find one. A bit like the four leaf clover.

They're a community on Stewart island, and I believe one of two park ranger scientist type observers on the Auckland island. Too cold barren exposed and distant for anyone else. Campbell island even further south... Almost antarctic

Yep. I spent 15 years working in the dairy industry. Some farmers, wanting to stock as highly as possible will cut down every tree in sight in order to grow more grass. Not so bad in the south island where the cooler climate requires less shelter from the sun, but I worked in the north and felt sorry for the cows in 30c heat trying to use each other for shelter from the sun. Totally unfair.
But the other extreme is housing all the cows in massive sheds and feeding them crap all day turning them into nothing but milking machines.
After working with animals you very soon realise they have personalities, character, and intelligence. You have turn off all your own personal sensibilities and compassion to use animals as simple money machines. I grew very tired of that industry and felt great relief to get out of it.
