Buller Conservation Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buller Conservation Group is a registered incorporated society and an environmental organisation active on the West Coast of New Zealand.[1][2][3]

The organisation was actively involved in supporting Native Forest Action's campaigns against Timberlands logging of native forest, and Solid Energy's pollution of the Waimangaroa River.[4][5]

The organisation has been actively campaigning against the open cast mining of coal on Department of Conservation land.[6][7] A key organiser of the group, Pete Lusk, stood down as spokesperson after harassment and threats from locals, culminating in a pipe bomb exploding in his letterbox.[8]
