Book and nature lovers alike crowded into Unity Books Wellington on Thursday evening for the launch of New Zealand’s Native Trees. With text by botanist John Dawson and photography by Rob Lucas, the Craig Potton publication took seven years of research to complete. After introductions by Dylan Sherwood, Unity’s new assistant manager, Jane Connor of Craig Potton spoke parentally of the time and dedication necessary to produce a work of such high quality. The Hon. Kate Wilkinson, Minister of Conservation then officially launched the book, noting the well timed release in the middle of National Conservation Week.
Author John Dawson expressed gratitude to those who assisted with the work, and reiterated the book’s dedication “to our grandchildren”. At 576 pages, the book will no doubt become a seminal text.
