Protests against the logging included this vigil by West Coast and Canterbury conservationists, and finally met success with the May 27 Government decision to halt the logging. Sadly, in the last weeks prior to that decision, there was an orgy of tree felling in the proposed reserve. About 300 rimu — enough to supply the mill for more than two months — were frantically felled before the Government called a halt. Photo: simon Hepplethwaite.
