Thread: The Future for Molesworth - DOC survey & actions.

Carbon footprint.... How many kids have you had... And grandkids... (stopped at least one lady with this when she was complaining about plastic waste with 4kids under 5)
Anyhow
Few points of interest in the survey:
"While the survey was not part of a statutory process, the feedback received will help inform us about people’s views"
Farming lease ends June 2020
20% of respondents have never been there
2% international
70% leave farming as is 80% support farming
"Harsh winter conditions and the fire hazard in summer were also noted ." safety concerns (you don't say...)
48% want changes to hunting 52% for changes to all public access
" Managed access for all users was a central theme, particularly for foreign tourists, who were considered to be a greater risk to landscape values than New Zealanders, especially when freedom camping ."
"volunteers to control pest species and restore significant areas as a positive option . Suggestions included using recreational hunters and fourwheel drivers,"
