Communities die when farms get planted in trees. NZ should have learned this simple truth from the last time it saw this. I’m sad this is happening again now, sad for Kumeroa, sad for the country and will resist this madness to keep our rural communities thriving.

So its official. The #1billiontrees program has caused its first major impact in our community. #Kumeroa school is loosing our amazing new teacher. Her partner was a shepherd on a farm just sold for trees. Trees are ripping our communities apart so urban dwellers can continue BAU

Summer in North Canterbury? mud, no dust, lush green grass, not a burnt off face to be seen. Couldn't get any better, but still seems a bit strange.

Water-quality tool seriously flawed: watchdog

A major report has found that the main tool regional councils are using to measure nitrogen run-off to lakes and rivers is seriously flawed.
