What do you think about the new rules on forestry conversions?
The Government has announced new legislation to limit the conversion of quality farmland to forestry, but there’s concern the new rules don’t go far enough.
Agriculture and forestry Minister Todd McClay and climate change Minister Simon Watts have announced new rules to limit farm to forestry conversions entering the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), including an annual cap on class 6 land, and a moratorium on classes 1-5.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
