Shirley, Bob and Shane Goomes beside the fence distinguishing their Rangatira covenant. Bob first heard about the Forest Heritage Fund and Nga Whenua Rahui when working as a fencer, fencing other people's covenants. Like other islanders, Bob Goomes has changed his thinking about conservation over the years. "I guess younger people are just like I was – they think it's theirs and it's going to be there forever. And all of a sudden, you realise it's not going to be there forever unless you do something about it."
