I despair a bit reading about the locals' requests for DOC to sort it out and how hard it is to get DOC or anyone else to take ownership ... I had hoped there was still enough "No.8 wire mentality" left in rural NZ that the community would just quietly sort it out themselves. Or, if needed, an informal community meeting at the school hall or pub to get the majority on board, send out a couple of pig hunters with dogs, and next weekend a community dinner with roast pork.
