Conservation Week

This is National Conservation week. On Tuesday the Minister of Forests, Land and Environment is to speak at a forum entitled: "Environment Impact procedures, where have they gone?"

This forum will include such speakers as Richard Prebble, Opposition spokesman and whip, Guy Salmon from the Native Forest Action Council, Dave Dawson from Environment and Conservation Organisations of New Zealand, Mr Hall, Manager BP Chemicals, a representative from the Governments "petro" Corporation, and Mr Stewart, the General Manager for the Wellington Harbour Board (re the Kaiwhara—Whara 4.95 ha reclamations.)

This forum will provide a unique opportunity for people able to attend to to come face to face with those men and women who are at present making decisions that will decide the roles and actions that they will fulfill, and the the type of world that everyone will live in for the rest of their own and their childrens' lives.
