National Parks
Sir, —ln support of Mr Nelson, president of the Forest and Bird Protection Society, may I quote from the book by Mr Crosby Morrison, one of the best-known naturalists ever to visit New Zealand? Speaking to New Zealanders of our national parks, he said: ‘‘Don’t be tempted to let an acre of them go, or to economise on the funds that will be required to keep them in their proper state of nature, for though we saw New Zealand as a commercial country, as a producer of marvellous riches in agricultural and pastoral production as well as in manufacture. X am convinced that they, the preserved natural features, are the country’s most precious things.”—Yours, etc., FLORA. June 5. 1962.
