From Peter Vahry on the 4x4 forum:

The Department of Conservation have given permission for a vegetation cut back on the 42 Traverse over 21/22 November. This iconic route through the Tongariro Forest is at risk of being overgrown and too scratchy to be used by many four wheelers. (Actually it already is in many places!)
It is important that some effort is made to clear the route before another summer of growth. Any chainsaw operators will need a certificate, but users of other powered cutting tools like brush cutters, hedge cutters etc. are fine.
If you can help, even for a day, please email peter.vahry@xtra.co.nz

I'm planning to head down in the Landcruiser & lend a hand. I know many on this site have enjoyed a ride across this track so now's your chance to help keep it open. If you want to come on the bike no worries - they need at least as many people to just throw the scrub off the track as there are chainsawing etc so just turn up with some work gloves.
Cheers
Clint
