I he 20,850-ha Crown Land farm block of Glazebrook has a similar history to that of Molesworth Station, also in Inland Marlborough. Both were taken over by the Crown earlier this century to rescue them from the ravages of poor management. The important difference between the two is that Molesworth is definitely to remain in Crown ownership, while more than 4000 ha of Glazebrook some of which is in the photo could be owned by Landcorp. Farming on such eroded land is against Government policy; the | Society believes it should remain in Crown ownership.
Near Napier parts of the upper Ahuriri Estuary and adjacent saltmarshes have also been allocated to Landcorp, despite their obvious importance to conservation. These coastal wetlands should remain in Crown ownership under Conservation Department stewardship.
