Letters call for timber ban
CONCERN FOR the environment is global and that became very evident in Christchurch two months ago during a one-day stall at the arts centre. The wood-chip-ping threat to New Zealand’s native forests resulted in 120 letters penned in several languages calling for a native timber export ban. The stall was organised by the Canterbury University Environment Council and
Forest and Bird’s North Canterbury branch after previous stalls had proved successful in getting letters of support for a Hooker’s Sea Lion Marine Mammal Sanctuary. There were information displays and up to six letter-writers put pen to paper at the same time. The letters were presented to Gail McIntosh, National MP for the Lyttelton electorate, who delivered them to the Prime Minister.
