Environmental experts to discuss rivers at Green AGM
A panel discussion on the state of New Zealand's rivers will take place at the Green Party AGM next weekend.
The panel will feature Green Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons, Neil Deans of Fish and Game, and Kevin Hackwell of Forest
and Bird. They will discuss the state of New Zealand's rivers, in light of the fact that 95 percent of our lowland
rivers are too polluted for swimming or drinking.

Society. Mr Hackwell is Forest and Bird's Conservation Manager.
