Visit from QEII National Trust Board
We were privileged to have a visit from the QEII National Trust Board on 23 November 2015. We realised as soon as we had bought our bush sections that we wanted them to be protected forever, so it was an easy decision for us to approach QEII. Our covenant was registered in 1999 and we would highly recommend covenanting natural areas on your property if you want to protect them in perpetuity. A covenanted area remains your own property but is registered on your title meaning future owners are required to respect your wishes for its protection. There are obligations for weed and pest control but there can also be help from QEII with fencing, weed and pest control. It can also be easier to get funding for projects if the land is protected by covenant. New Southland QEII Rep Jessie Bythell is the person to contact and for more information visit www.openspace.org.nz
