29 August 1994 Lincoln Field Trip Studies Local Ecology

One hundred and thirty Lincoln University second-year Ecology students are currently based at Harihari on a week-long field trip.

The students are studying ecological aspects of the district with a particular focus on the Franz Josef area and Saltwater Forest.

They are under the supervision of Dr Steve Wratten of Lincoln University's Department of Entomology and Animal Ecology.

In a new development, this year's Lincoln University ecology field trip is sponsored - by Timberlands West Coast Ltd of Greymouth.

With a forestry policy based on sustainability, Timberlands was happy to assist the ecology education offered by Lincoln University.
