    Mokihinui Dam proposal & other Wild Rivers WRAP

    Hi everyone!

    READ MSG BELOW and see what Meridian has planned for another of our rivers...we're having one of our tramping club FMC reps coming to talk about it at the next meeting...should be great!

    Also if you're really interested there's a spread about the Mokihinui proposal in the latest Forest & Bird magazine...

    Hullo there

    You may be aware Meridian Energy has a proposal to dam the Mokihinui River. .

    Wild Rivers Action Project has been formed to oppose the Mokihinui hydro-electric scheme applied for by Meridian Energy,and to protect the remaining wild rivers of New Zealand from development.

    WRAP has been undertaken by members of Nelson Tramping Club with support from several members of
    FMC Executive.

    Please visit the website www.wrap.org.nz, there is lots of information, links to photos, video, other involved organisations. Please sign the petition.

    WRAP is not a FMC initiative but it's goals are in close alignment with FMC's opposing submission to the Mokihinui dam proposal and recent committment to work as a member of the Living Rivers Coalition towards protecting other wild rivers from hydro development.

    We would be very grateful if you could circulate this message to all your members.

    Please use the 'Spread the word' function to make other people aware of the website and petition.

    We welcome any feedback; please use the 'Contact Us' link.

    Thanks for your support.
