Forest and Bird objects to destruction of totara
trees
A local Whangarei organisation, the Whangarei Native Forest and Bird Protection Society has been reported in the media today for supporting the clearance of totara in Northland. Please note that this organisation is neither the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand Inc. (Forest and Bird) nor is it a constituent body of Forest and Bird.
The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society (Forest and Bird) is OPPOSED to the felling of totara trees referred to in the news and urges journalists to ensure that their coverage of the story does not generate confusion or unwarranted harm to the reputation of Forest and Bird.
"Forest and Bird is very concerned at the
destruction of forest remnants in Northland. We are strongly
opposed to the destruction of the totara trees that could
have been over 100 years old. Totara is important food and
habitat for native birds," said Forest and Bird northern
field officer David Pattemore.
