    Noticed the below when walking out. Hillside was covered in dead trees. Any thoughts on what this?

    Good story mate, and i would think those dead trees are the result of storm damage. that area has been smashed a few times over the years going right back to cyclone Bola in the 1980s.

    Looks like Mountain beech die-back, which is a natural phenomenon. An issue for hunters in that deer are apparently responsible for inhibiting recruitment of replacements......from memory Sean Husheer did PhD research on this, and his work was in part what was behind the S&D work DoC did in some higher altitude parts of the kawekas a few years back?
