How is it possible that thousands of Hectares of prime productive rural land in NZ is being sold to foreign companies and permanently planted in pine trees – a mono culture that destroys ecosystems and biodiversity acidifies waterways and ruins soil?

The Govt led push to eradicate the rural sector continues – wake up kiwi’s!
