Campaign to save forest
By
OLIVER RIDDELL
in Wellington
A campaign is being launched to save 600 ha of native bush at Goose Bay, south of Kaikoura.
The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society has agreed to help a local farmer, the Marlborough
Catchment Board, and the Lands and Survey Department fence beech and softwood-broadleaf forest along the Ote-Makura Stream.
Fencing will cost the board $48,000, the department, $16,000 and the society, $16,000. Public donations are sought by the society.
Because little native bush remains on the east coast of the South Island, the bush area is considered to provide a unique conservation opportunity. This part of the coastline has many special plants as well as bush robins, pigeons, brown creepers, tuis, bellbirds, tomtits and warblers.
