I own a 228-acre hill country farm in the Manawatu and am interested
in finding ways to improve the sustainability of the property. Fortunately
I have Bush Vitality - a very impressive work that provides a huge amount
of valuable and practical information. My background is in science and
technology and I can see that this book promotes an enlightened insight
to smart environmental management of the future. Congratulations - make
sure you get this info out there!

What a marvellous publication! This has got so much comprehensive and
practical material in it that no-one will ever need to compile another
bush protection/ rehabilitation/recognition guide. The things I have
longed for in previous publications in vain, are sensible planting guides,
good photo captioning and of course a smart and user-friendly presentation.

This book is an important tool for landowners to assess and improve
areas of biodiversity on their land. As one of the main organisations
offering protection mechanisms for natural and open space areas on private
land the QEII National Trust has a keen interest in this initiative
and promotes the book to its covenantors.
