Our separate though related research projects which inform this article include interview programmes with conservation managers and local Maori (see CitationCoombes, 2002; CitationHill, 2003). Interviews are cited according to the title of the interviewee, with the date included. The research also included extensive use of archival sources, some of which are cited in the text, and contributes to the Treaty of Waitangi claims of local iwi. We would like to thank the Crown Forestry Rental Trust for funding this research (Auckland UniServices Project 9118.01), the Department of Conservation for allowing access to their records and staff, and tangata whenua for sharing their passions with us.
