This bill would take us back to that era of logging, destruction of biodiversity, and destruction of nature. It fails to recognise the key role that wind-blown timber and fallen trees have in recycling nutrients in the forest, that dead trees have in providing nest holes for birds like kākā and kākāriki, and that fallen trees have in providing a seed-bed for regenerating forest and regrowth of the forest. This bill is just opportunistic. It seeks to plunder conservation land and the Green Party is opposing it.
