Economist Benje Patterson: bike tourism in plantation forests
<p>Each year thousands of NZers and tourists explore our outdoors on bike. The average mountain bike tourist spends 3 or 4 days on their holiday. And many of them explore our plantation forests.

Riparian planting and public access
<p>Ric Balfour from Landcare Trust and Felicity Brough from Walking Access Commission have formed a partnership where they work with farmers and catchment groups to help them develop public access routes when they are doing riparian planting. Felicity and Ric’s work is important because there is a strong link between good public access to land and healthy environmental outcomes.</p> <p>For more information about riparian planting and public access visit the <a href="https://www.landcare.org.nz/" target="_blank">Landcare Trust</a> and <a href="https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/" target="_blank">Walking Access Commission</a> websites, especially:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.landcare.org.nz/resource-item/riparian-corridors" target="_blank">The A,B,Cs of Riparian Corridor GMPs</a>, </li> <li><a href="https://www.landcare.org.nz/completed-project-item/catchment-groups" target="_blank">Catchment Groups</a>, </li> <li><a href="https://www.landcare.org.nz/resource-item/catchment-management" target="_blank">Catchment Management</a>, </li> <li><a href="https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/knowledge/rivers-lakes-and-coast/" target="_blank">Public access to rivers lakes and the coast</a>, and</li> <li><a href="https://maps.walkingaccess.govt.nz/OurMaps/" target="_blank">Maps of public access areas in NZ</a></li> </ul> <p>---</p> <p>Music: Verão by <a href="https://www.silvermansound.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shane Ivers</a>.</p> <p>Photo by Ric Balfour</p>
