LESSON ON EROSION
EXAMPLE AT WELLINGTON "One of the best object lessons on erosion may be seen on and. near a hilly public path at Kelburn." says a Wellington member of the Forest and Bird Protection Society. "This path, which connects two main high ways, is a short cut used daiiy by thousands ol' people. There Hrems to be a doubt about the responsibility for maintaining the path, which is on the Town Belt (the properly of the citizens of Wellington)- Anyhow, it is a kind of 'no man's land' in the view of the City Council. The wild rains work their will on the clay surface. A channel has been gorged out and one sees .erosive forccs in miniature. There are slips occasionally on an adjacent baruv, but the long-suffering pedestrians lake these as a matter of course. Gradually the path is becoming i gully."
