HAWKES BAY KIWIS GAIN REPRIEVE
In response to major concerns expressed throughout the Hawkes Bay region, the Lands and Survey Department has postponed further clearance on its Waitere farm block while a management plan is prepared. The shrubland covered block beside the Mohaka river contains the largest recorded population of kiwis in Hawkes Bay as well as important fernbird and robin populations. This is a major achievement for our Napier branch who have led a campaign to protect the kiwis which dominated newspaper headlines throughout Hawkes Bay earlier this year. Public comment will shortly be invited on the management plan.
