The Dannevirke & District RSA Inc. are planting a Lone Pine Seedling at 10am near the Dannevirke Cenotaph with the possibility of another planted the same day at the Managtera Cemetery.

Descendants of the Gallipoli Peninsula's Lone Pine have been provided by Scion Forest Research Centre, Rotorua for destinations around New Zealand for planting at events associated with WW100 commemorations.

About 50 two-year old seedlings of this special tree were propagated by Scion at its research nursery in Rotorua and gifted to RSAs nationwide. The seeds were collected in 2012 from the Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia) growing at Paeroa Golf Course. This tree is an authenticated New Zealand descendant of the original Lone Pine and traces back to a pine cone brought home by Australian soldier Sergeant Keith McDowell after World War 1.
