With Christmas just around the corner, the crew at High Country Contracting in South Canterbury have decided to sell wilding pines as Christmas trees for a charitable cause.
Wilding pines are classified as a pest in New Zealand, and Khan Adam and his crew cut down thousands each year.
The trees are being sold for $25 each with the proceeds going to the I Am Hope charity.
