Nothing West Coasters like more, than to be told by folks in Wellington or Auckland that they are narrow minded.

Had a bit to do with Kit Richards many years ago, a passionate educated West Coaster heavily involved in Timberlands which aimed to harvest beech forest on the West Coast.

Type of small sustainable forestry helicopter low impact harvesting targeting certain specific beech species, where if you flew over the forest slowly in a copter you'd struggle to see anything different. Some of the profits to be used in possum/pest control management to protect native bird life etc. A project that was going to add hundreds of long term well paid jobs to the Coast - something the region badly needed. With much of the workforce passionate about and hugely experienced in the NZ bush. A project that would have less impact on the environment than bringing in thousands of free camping international tourists to the Coast each year. Bearing in mind many tourist workers are on pitifully low wages.

Timberlands sadly destroyed by Helen Clark kotowing to the urban Green element of NZ, who really had no idea of what it was about. So yes Coasters love to be lectured by urban NZ, on what they should do.

What a other markets a small tourism operator in Hokitika can diversify into I'm sure they are gagging to know.
