Greenpeace expects thousands of people will this morning flock to Auckland's CBD to protest the government's proposal to open up conservation land to mining.
The march aims to highlight widespread anger over the proposals to open up the very best of the country's conservation land.
Greenpeace Executive Director Bunny McDiarmid says the government has underestimated the numbers against the proposals.
And she says today's turn out will represent people from all walks of life.
The march will kick off from the bottom of Queen Street at 11am.
