I've only had dealings with the Forest and Bird people through the Scout troop - having them come in to talk with the kids - and the ones who work for them seem to be genuine. The problem is with the proselytisers.

In all seriousness, my big issue is the ones who view the selling of the organisation as a religious crusade. They give me the shits. The ones at the coalface are busy trying to make a difference.

Strange - a stack of Forest and Bird magazines landed on the lunchroom table today.We used to belong to Forest and Bird some years ago,they did good things I reckon.They got Bell Birds back on Waiheke Island,I'd never seen or heard one before.Pukeko's are the only native bird we don't have to worry about losing.
