.....Does it say that in the article? Given DOC's mishandling of relationships with landowners adjacent to the Ruahine Forest Park, please forgive me if I take a dim view of ANY council or DOC relationship with a landowner... Access to the western side of the Ruahine range in particular has been mismanaged in the past, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see that there has been a misrepresentation in the media about why access has become a media reportable issue...
For what it's worth - I'm hoping this can be resolved; I like my access to the Ruahines, and if a bunch of arseholes piss off landowners and change access permissions then I'm going to be annoyed.
If there's anything I can do to reassure a landowner, or ensure a privilege is not abused then I am all for it!!!!
