Action on Okarito
The Native Forests Action Council says it will fight Government proposals to log selectively the Okarito forest in South Westland, The council’s president (Miss Gwenny Davis) said she appreciated the importance of maintaining employment at the Ruatapu sawmill but the council considered that this could be provided by logging more heavily other forests closer to the sawmill. Proposals by conservationists to protect Oka-1 rito, the Maruia district, and the Paparoa range had been! set back by the latest Gov-| ernment announcement on; West Coast native forests. “Reserve proposals have been picked over by com-] mercially oriented Govern- \ ment departments so that’ the bulk of many reserve i areas now being announced! are only unmerchantable leftovers/’ said Miss Davis.
