High country wetlands are threatened by agricultural development. The Lake Heron wetland shown here is part of the Mt Arrowsmith pastoral lease. Development assisted by a Rural Bank loan involved construction of this illegal drain (no water right), cultivation and mob stocking with cattle. The Cameron Fan wetlands are now protected by the Rakaia river draft conservation order and this drain should immediately be filled in. Photo: G McSweeney.
