Far north reserves
The Society is delighted to hear that the Lands and Survey Department has made a decision to ensure all Crown lands along the Pouto Peninsula coastline remain in public ownership. Our northern regional field officer, Mark Bellingham, reported in the May issue that ‘‘no lead has come from Lands and Survey’’ on this matter; thankfully this has now occurred. Mention of the Department was also ommitted from an article on Unuwhao, on page 9 of the May issue. In fact, Lands and Survey support the idea of a special reserve on this area in the far north. We have also advised that that Lands and Survey staff are now of the opinion that pastoral farming ‘‘should not now proceed at this time’’ in the Spirits Bay catchment at Te Paki. A full biological assessment of this and other areas of public lands in the Te Paki region should now be given a high priority to ensure that these important natural areas obtain national or other reserve Status.
