Abstract: Mirror, mirror on the wall…. which landscape is the fairest of them all? We all know the story… the mirror can answer any question. The queen chooses to ask who is the most beautiful and she doesn’t like the answer. Perhaps the queen should have asked her mirror how to achieve consistency in landscape values? But chances are there isn’t a fairy tale ending to that question either, especially if you are a forester. This month I attended a roadshow organised by the Resource Management Law Association (RMLA) and Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ). The discussion was around how to achieve consistency and clear direction for the identification and management of landscape values. The Otago session was crowded, an extremely good turn-out for a winter night in Dunedin.
