Hearing from people who create, care for and treasure tracks and trails in Aotearoa
Ric Balfour from Landcare Trust and Felicity Brough from Walking Access Commission have formed a partnership where they work with farmers and catchment groups to help them develop public access routes when they are doing riparian planting. Felicity and Ric’s work is important because there is a strong link between good public access to land and healthy environmental outcomes.
For more information about riparian planting and public access visit the Landcare Trust and Walking Access Commission websites, especially:
