Support has also been provided by the New Zealand Landcare Trust, QEII National Trust, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Palmerston North City Council, Auckland Regional Council, Horizons Regional Council, Porirua City Council, Kapiti Coast District Council, Waitakere City Council and Environment Waikato. The provision of plant names information used on this site by Landcare Research, from their Plant Names Database and National Vegetation Survey Databank, is gratefully acknowledged.
