  Venue: New Plymouth

  The 2013 conference will explore how one region attempts to balance the drive for economic development against the ever increasing demands for environmental and landscape protection and enhancement that ensures a sustainable pathway for future generations.
   
  Collaborative efforts enhance vegetation and forest cover in an intensive dairying environment will be showcased. The formation of the Taranaki Riparian Management Programme has provided a foundation for cooperation between diverse land use interests and how this has been achieved and its successes to date will be a core component of the conference.
   
  Practical presentations including pest control initiatives and voluntary community based projects to create and protect inland sanctuaries to enhance the habitat of native flora and fauna are also incorporated in the conference programme.
   
  The conference will be rounded out on the second day with presentations on current day approaches of commercial forestry interests to the sustainable management of plantation resources while recognising ever increasing demands of non-forestry interests.
