Rates rebate helps save forest
New Zealand's largest city, Manukau City, has granted all landowners a 75 percent rebate on native bush on their land. This follows recent controls on clearance of native forest on private land. Most of the city is rural, containing many magnificent totara and taraire forest remnants and the Hunua Ranges. The rating rebate for ARA forests in the city includes part of the Hunua Ranges, where a small kokako population survives. Manukau now joins a growing group of local authorities which are assisting landowners to protect our heritage. Their actions are commended.
