A tramping club says DOC should upgrade the tracks to protect kauri, instead of closing them. Kauaeranga Tramping Club tracks officer Greg Laslett said if the back country tracks are lost, where will people learn and enjoy wilderness skills?

"We basically feel like we're fighting for the survival of our walking heritage." What do you think? Do you use the tracks? What's the best option? (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff).

That this … View moreI have only recently found this fascinating 2017 post that has vital information for Hauraki Plains and all connected rate payers. Yes, even communities on the eastern side of the ranges will almost certainly pay increased taxes to help save the plains and keep highway 25 open. That this information has not been much more publicised in local media is disgraceful. Is it due to lazy journalism or are we readers considered too stupid or uneducated for such news? teggtalk.wordpress.com...
