Maruia Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maruia Society was an environmental organisation in New Zealand.
The Society had its origins in the Beech Forest Action Council, then the Native Forest Action Council. In 1999 it became the Ecologic Foundation.
Executive director was Guy Salmon who has been present through all the groups incarnations.
The Society lost a lot of members during the mid-late 1990s when it came out in support of sustainable milling of West Coast beech—in contrast to the mainstream environmental movement in New Zealand which was advocating for complete protection.
