BAY OF PLENTY FORESTS FINALLY PROTECTED!
On 26 June the Government announced that it would fully implement the recommendations on the Kaimai-Mamaku forests made by the National Parks and Reserves Authority (NPRA). After reviewing all public submissions and Forest Service management proposals, the NPRA made eight detailed recommendations to Government. The most important of these was that the whole Forest Park and five important outlying native forests between Tauranga and Rotorua should be dedicated for permanent protection under Section 15 of the Forests Act. The NPRA also urged Government to encourage private landowners with native forest adjoining the park to give their forests permanent protection. The battle to save the Kaimai-Mamakus has been an 11 year epic spearheaded by the people of the Bay of Plenty which also involved people from the Waikato to Rotorua. They all deserve congratulations from Society members on their success.
