CONSERVATION WEEK
Conservation Week begins this Saturday and runs through until Sunday, 5 August. This year's theme is New Zealand's water (or aquatic) resources. In past years wildlife officer Dave Johnson, of Raetihi, and ranger Bryan Norton have toured upwards of a dozen schools for Conservation Week, but with Bryan committed to work on the skifields this year time is limited. Dave has distributed literature to all schools in the Waimarino, but will only visit three next week — Raetihi Primary, Ohakune Primary and Ruapehu College. He will use slides, static
displays and films to encourage audiences to conserve and protect our water resources. In New Zealand about four million cubic metres of water is used each day — each person uses about 250 litres. Because water is apparently freely available we do not value it as we should, the group Conservation New Zealand says. Our water resources are not unlimited. It is up to us to take care of them and use them wisely so we always have enough to go around, the group says.
