Supporting Land for Wildlife programme run by Forest and Bird

" Forest & Bird is piloting the programme as part of the "Kaimai Connection" -- a project to restore natural links from Tauranga Harbour in the Bay of Plenty to the Waihou River in the Waikato...This programme assists property owners to enhance wildlife habitat on their properties by providing expert advice, on-site visits and workshops" we read on Waikato.http://www.forestandbird.org.nz/what-we-do/projects/kaimai-mamaku-campaign/land-wildlife

Mary O'Neill said "It’s great to support the farmers to actively participate in the Land for Wildlife programme. Farmers also should be included in the various wildlife protection discussions where they can share the knowledge about the best practices and lessons learned.
Nearly 10 years ago when I was a student in Environment and Sustainability in New Zealand we were encouraged to make ourselves available to plant the native species on private farms and to identify the obnoxious plant species etc. It appears feasible for the majority of farmers to implement these strategies in an efficient and effective way".
