“It's only a matter of time before the roads are too busy, and after COVID, we've all realised how important it is to be within commuting distance.

The New Zealand Walking Access Commission wants to help the Department of Conservation (DOC) protect public access when it reclassifies stewardship land. Stewardship land is land that was allocated to DOC when it was formed in 1987. It includes former state forests and Crown land considered to have conservation value. There are over 3,000 parcels of stewardship land of varying sizes across New Zealand — over 2.7 million hectares or 9% of New Zealand's total land area. Many of these areas are home to threatened species and high-priority ecosystems. Reclassifying stewardship land can raise the level of protection for the land where needed. The Department of Conservation has been seeking people's views on improving the legal process for reclassifying and disposing of stewardship land. That process usually involves surveying the…

My Favourite Walk The tramping group had not been to Ryde Falls for quite a few year's so we put this tramp on the program. The weather forecast was good, it was a little cloudy but this soon clear ed for sunshine with no breeze at all. The area has plenty of hacks for trampers, walkers and bikers. At first we had views of the rolling hills. We soon were into our walking mode and before you knew it we had a break for a cuppa. There were patches of mud to go through or around, you could take your pick. This was not a problem to us as we all had sturdy tramping boots. The track was good under foot mostly. A few of the group went ahead and…

Celia Wade-Brown is best known to many people as the former mayor of Wellington. But since that political adventure, she has become a different type of adventurer, first walking Te Araroa, then cycling, then Tour Aotearoa and more recently kayaking around significant parts of the motu. She's also a member of the Walking Access Commission Board and Te Araroa Trust Board, and she founded Living Streets Aotearoa and organises the Wairarapa Walking Festival. “It was a very big challenge,” says Celia. “I called it my political detox after stopping being mayor. And it was also a really great chance to reconnect with my other half because you know, when you are both doing busy jobs you don't see as much of each other as you might. “So going from occasionally…
