Purchased 65 Ha of rough, neglected scrub and grazing land with virtually no tree cover in the Maungakotukutuku Valley in 1986. Planted 50k trees of mixed species and set aside 1/3 (now > 1/2) of the land for native regeneration. Nature has been my passion and refuge all my life. I am eclectic in my approach to stewardship of our land with a mix of native and exotics. I have a particular concentration of interest in trees but with the huge growth in bird-life as our plantings and reserves have developed I have become also entranced by the birdlife (and indeed all life). I am a lover and nurturer of nature, an enthusiastic photographer, but no expert. I have a passion for sharing the blessing of our land and of the adjoining valley with others, especially with children and I am exploring ways to continue our project beyond my lifetime.
I now have a YouTube Channel with many videos of the birds of Inland Kapiti. This is the Native Birds playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXGcB3OgpLwUSQKFwXyG7tVJqrFITUOwV
