Once again this has been an interesting and productive year for the Board. The Board has been actively involved in the review process of our Conservation Management Strategy which is now well under way. The Board looks forward to seeing a completed draft document in the near future and to hearing how it is received by the community. The operative conservation management strategy was developed in the 1990s and is now beyond its 'use by date’. This has been a concern for the Board so it is very pleased with the current Kevin Evans – 2000-2011 – Committed Conservationist & Pateke activity. advocate. We have also been kept informed of discussions between the Department of Conservation and Te Roroa iwi around the Government’s proposal to establish a Kauri National Park centred on the Waipoua Forest. A discussion document on the proposal was released for public submissions in May 2011. The Board’s field visits continue to provide an invaluable insight into the great work that is being done for conservation throughout Northland by the Department, Landcare, community groups, local iwi and passionate individuals. They also highlight the issues and future challenges we need to help overcome. It is disappointing that no progress has been made in the implementation of the Marine Protected Area Policy.
