The summer programme was very much a fire fighting exercise. It needed to be. We had little time to prepare and there was real urgency and a great deal at stake. Now that the summer is almost past we need to turn the attention to make sure that we work together in a consistent and structured fashion. BNZ are developing a long term strategy. Under this umbrella the regional action groups are developing simple response and management plans. Each conservancy is also developing its own management plan specifically aimed at protecting conservation values. The challenge is to keep it simple stupid and to make sure organisations complement each other rather than duplicate effort.
