Okataina activist weekend
THIRTY PEOPLE from around the North Island gathered at the Okataina Outdoor Centre recently to polish up their activist skills. Led by conservation director Kevin Smith and regional field officer Basil Graeme, the workshop covered such topics as how to mount a campaign, the media skills required and the need for letters to editors and MPs. On Sunday the group investigated the wallaby exclosures at the end of Lake Okataina to see the forest damage caused by wallabies for themselves. Where they have been held before the weekends have been hailed as a success. If your branch would like to host one, please contact Chris Wratt at head office. Thanks go to the Rotorua branch for the work they did in organising the venue and supplying food.
