Tagged sections: 1. Comments on draft Tawerau Indigenous working plan; 2. Tawerau Management Plan; 3. Matarawa Forest (1973 visit and description); 3.-6. Comments on Te Kuiti/Hamilton Management Plan (Aramiro pole rimu stands), fine 6p essay (E.H. Bunn 22.8.73) had strong impact on Indigenous Forest Policy: no need for large scale conversion of CNI virgin forest to exotics. Tihoi Forest had some partial logging and Waihaha and Waimonoa catchments reserved as Ecological Areas. FRI survey (J. Herbert) confirmed exceptional abundance and development of podocarp regeneration.
