Dear Department of Conservation, thank you
for your reply. As a resident of Minginui I am disseminating this information to local people who wish to know what is happening.
Given the close proximity of the use of this deadly poison to this town, up to date information should be openly available. Instead it is applied in a veil of secrecy.
Could you please send another copy of the map. The one included is unreadable.
Thankyou

Yours faithfully,
Andy Blick
