Forest and Bird concerned over Riversdale Flats land sale

From Morning Report, 7:40 am on 1 August 2018

Forest and Bird believe a crucial opportunity was lost during a new sale of South Island high country land. The Overseas Investment Office has approved the sale of Mt White Station, near Arthur's Pass, to a New Zealand resident of Czech whakapapa. The property includes almost one thousand hectares, known as Riversdale Flats, which were long ago meant to be set aside for inclusion in a national park. Jen Miller is a spokesperson for Forest and Bird. She talks to Susie Ferguson.
