A plethora of cool and little-known conifers dot the landscape of this video that explores both the dark forested slopes of Central New Zealand as well as the generally barren volcanic slopes of this Andesitic Volcano. Libocedrus bidwillii Halocarpus biformis Halocarpus kirkii Manoao collensoi Phyllocladus alpinus Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it’s true. Whether it’s travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth’s flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they’re gone for good. Plants make people feel good. Plants quell homicidal (and suicidal!) thoughts.
