I don't think Larry understands how little the Dicksonia are actually worth in
NZ. They aren't worth developing a site just to get at them. They wouldn't
make the difference between a site being profitable to develop or not. They
don't tip the balance, and as the sites would be developed anyway, it's better
that the plants are relocated rather than destroyed.

If the long term view is that we should stop developing sites where tree ferns
grow, then all well and good. In the mean time, I see no point in stopping the
relocation of such ferns.
