6N: Powers of Boards

You could also call this:

"What the Conservation Board can do to help protect New Zealand's environment"

You have a Conservation Board that helps look after New Zealand's environment. This Board has the power to do what it needs to do its job. The Board can speak up for itself at public meetings or when plans are being made. You can think of the Board like a team, and this team can pick some of its members to form smaller groups to help with certain tasks. The Board can also go to court if it needs to talk about something that affects its work, and it has the right to be heard.
