Twenty-six soldiers from the Woodville district who died in World War II have been commemorated by a living memorial of tōtara trees at Ferry Reserve.
More than 100 school children, teachers and parents joined Rangitāne tangata whenua, members of the Woodville RSA, Horizons Regional Council, Woodville Lions and Woodville Domain Board to mulch around the 26 trees in preparation for the summer ahead.
