All in print now

DOC work for me for the past two months has been enjoyably busy preparing seven documents for print.

Wild Animal Control Huts: Historic Heritage Assessment by Michael Kelly was published on the DOC website in 2007.There was always many requests for it to be printed.
So it was re-edited, sent to the proof-reader and went to the printer this morning. Delia Small is giving the proof the last gasp check.

These three heritage assessments, written by Jackie Breen - TSO Historic, West Coast Conservancy are interesting stories about 19th and 20th century determination to establish tracks in very difficult terrain and how to maintain them, a well as the history of and a plan to rescue a unique and very nearly derelict old hut.
Below is a document  of brief descriptions of some wonderful heritage sites restored, shared, promoted and cared for on conservation land.


The Lighthouses of Foveaux Strait by Angela Bain is a wonderful history covering almost 100 years of three lighthouses from inception to solar power driven 21st century facilities, their keepers and the keeper's families. Remarkable stories well defined and described.

More huts, this time with a special edge. These huts were built, or acquired for the specific task of rescuing at risk species
