The cape was largely a pine plantation until it was harvested throughout 2014. The first organised replanting of the current 6.87ha forestry block on the cape began in May 2015, Mr Hyde said. As well as the pines that had spread into areas where natives were planned, there were some trees in planted areas that could be targeted for removal. He could not say, until that work was done later this month, how many trees would be removed.
