Waitakere Forest and Bird has presented a certificate of appreciation to a local Member of Parliament, the Rt Hon. Jonathan Hunt, Speaker of the House (above). The award recognised 'the very positive role he played within the Labour caucus to set the West Coast Forest Policy which is to see the end of native-forest logging on Crown-owned land'. As a founder-member of the Waitakere Ranges Protection Society, Jonathan Hunt is already well-known for his interest in protecting our local forests, according to branch chair, Dr Peter Maddison. A kaka beak plant donated by Oratia Native Plant Nursery was part of the presentation, to add to a large selection of native species already on Jonathan Hunt's property at Karekare.
