Scenic reserves
Sir, —Scenic reserves are the native forests that the largest number of people see and use. They line many highways and must be an important asset to our tourist industry as well as screen-
ing past devastation. Accordingly, legislation gives them what would seem to be a high degree of protection, except from Government departments. The Forest Service is in the forefront demanding all fine stands of trees for the wasteful needs of a greedy sawmilling industry. The bulk of the unusually large reserve at Inangahua Landing was grabbed by the Forest Service in a time when reserves were not valued as much, and they want a doorway to destroy this forest as well as what remains of the reserve. Why are people unable to protect their magnificient wild avenues? They certainly want to.—Yours, etc., GRAEME LOH. January 3, 1978.
