Environmental Education Appeal
The overwhelming generosity of Forest and Bird members means that the Society will soon have a fulltime education and extension officer. The response to our annual appeal exceeded expectations, with more than $30,000 in less than a month. These are just some of the positive comments we received:. "Many of my friends at school don’t seem to care a lot about what happens to the environment. There is a great need for more young people to be involved with conservation." "How right you are to try to interest our children and young people in our wonderful natural heritage. One feels that many of our present politicians and city-bred people are sadly divorced from contact with our priceless natural environment." We have not been able to personally thank everyone who donated. Please accept this as our thanks for your part in helping to get this exciting project off the ground.
