Part of the extensive beech forests within the lease which the High Country Public Lands Coalition wants to see resumed. The runholder would still graze the flats. Rees Valley.
The south face of Mt Earnslaw towering above the Earnslaw Basin. The absurdity of some pastoral leases is graphically illustrated in this photograph; up until 1973 everything here was included in the Earnslaw Station pastoral lease. The glacier and above is now part of Mount Aspiring National Park, but the sheer rock faces below still remain in pastoral lease.
