Dam(n) the Mokihinui?

VUWTC meeting, Tuesday 29 July 7:30pm
Meeting Room 1 and 2, Student Union Building, VUW.

Federated Mountain Clubs executive member Quentin Duthie will present videos and photos from his recent rafting trip down the Mokihinui river in the Buller district, and the campaign of Forest and Bird, FMC and the Greens to save the river from Meridian's dam. There is also a plan for a MTB/tramp track between the Moki and the Buller - find out more. Can we generate renewable energy and reduce climate change emissions without sacrificing wild rivers like the Mokihinui?

Quentin is a member of VUWTC and NZ Alpine Club, a prodigious hut-bagger, Mountain Safety instructor, and passionate tramper. He is also a conservationist involved with Forest and Bird and ECO, and works for the Green Party in parliament.

On Monday 9^th June Mountain Safety Council will be holding an Avalanche Awareness evening at Turnbull House. MSC also runs Avalanche courses around the country from late July. As part of this evening we will have a guest speaker as well as spot prizes. Further details of this later in the month. Please mark this date in your calendar now – it would be good to see VUWTC people attend like last year.

Campaign to save the Mokihinui river from dam destruction

Quentin — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:15:08 GMT

Hi ya, I gave a quick presentation to the interclub meeting today. Here are some links for you to engage in this campaign. Wild rivers with rich biodiversity like the Mokihinui are not renewable!

I'd be keen to lead a trip into the Haurangi (Washpool etc, pref two cars/groups to swap keys halfway, either 2 or 3 days) it wanted to schedule a club trip to that piece of the world. A few outstanding (in the 'remaining' sense) huts to bag in that area. Quentin q@pleroma.org.nz 0272088965

Lots of options for tramping over summer and assisting in conservation and recreation work: track cutting, whio surveys in Whirinaki, etc. Doesn't earn money, but doesn't cost much/anything either.
