Really productive discussion today with Ray Grubb (right) and his team from @FishandGameNZ about how we can work closely and constructively together to advance our shared objectives @DairyNZ
Game bird hunters have waited patiently, and now we can confirm that 23rd of May will mark the start of the 2020 game bird season and you will once again be amongst the action at your favourite hunting spot.

Kia ora,
Fish & Game New Zealand as an organisation is supportive of both the science and scientists involved in environmental issues. Nobody should have to put up with such unacceptable comments such as those made recently by a southern whitebaiter.
These remarks are not representative of Fish & Game New Zealand as an organisation and we do not accept them or any such references in the future. While the individual in question is a Southland Fish and Game councillor he was not speaking in that capacity.
Voting in local elections is an important way to influence the decisions about the issues that matter to you most. Make your vote for regional council count.
It's time DairyNZ moved to support policies for cleaning up our waterways instead of denying the facts and delaying change.

The recent NZIER report trivialises the significant role the dairy sector plays in New Zealand’s economy – and fails to look at the specifics of the Government’s freshwater package. dairynz.co.nz/news/latest-ne…
The proposed new water quality standards will set the stage for a new round of dairy innovation. Our latest report finds that it's not a choice between absolutes: dairy farming OR clean water. It's a matter of getting the balance right between the two.
A new report by @NZIER rejects claims the Govt’s freshwater proposals will have a significant economic impact. Despite claim farmers have been ‘thrown under the tractor’, the report finds that in fact they have been thrown a lifeline to embrace sustainable farming.
Many good farmers have been getting on and improving their practices - the Government’s plan will just ensure all farmers embrace sustainable farming, and that will be good for them, for the environment and for all New Zealanders,
