'Denniston Plateau Conservation land - threatened by open-cast mining'
Presentation provides factual information on this unique environment, and Forest and Bird’s opposition to the mining company gaining consent to destroy it.
PLUS: Valder Grant Recipient Presentations
Lilian Valder and her sister, who farmed on the slopes of Mt Pirongia, bequeathed to Forest and Bird Waikato Branch a forested part of their farm in 1963, now named the Walter Scott Reserve. Lilian also left assets from which the Waikato branch annually funds worthwhile conservation projects and covenants.
Three 2010 recipients of Valder Grants will tell us about their research projects.
