WILD LIFE
[NX spite of the length of time it has been running now, the ZB feature Wild Life remains at a consistently high level. Dr. R. A. Falla, director of the Canterbury Museum (whose photograph appeared on our cover last issue) knows how to make natural history exceedingly interesting. His broadcasts are so effortless that it is difficult for listeners to appreciate the amount of work that is put into them. Recently, for example, he joined forces with some experienced deer-stalkers in order to secure first-hand information about winter conditions in the North Canterbury back country. He was chiefly interested in the big herds of deer and the chamois on the higher ranges. These are creating a serious problem because of what they are doing to unprotected native plants and, therefore, to the surface of thé land. On the same
---- trip Dr. Falla observed how the hardier native birds, as well as insects, support themselves in snow and low temperatures. It is field work of this kind that makes Wild Life so distinctive and refreshing a programme. It is heard from the ZB stations on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
