Leonard Cockayne and Ebenezer Teichelmann

Leonard Cockayne and Ebenezer Teichelmann

In 1915 Leonard Cockayne and Ebenezer Teichelmann reported on indigenous vegetation on the Port Hills above Christchurch. This led to the creation of the first scenic reserves for primarily botanical reasons. In this 1929 photograph, Leonard Cockayne and Ebenezer Teichelmann are surveying manuka forest.
