Community-led biodiversity restoration, land use and citizen science are where my personal and professional interests overlap. As Director of people+science, I work on diverse projects, many of which sit at the interface between science and the public. I work in partnership with NGOs, science professionals, community members, and land managers. I draw on a broad set of skills including hands-on conservation, research, impact evaluation, governance, science communication and… fine arts. Although eclectic, together these form distinct, though overlapping lenses through which to interpret and understand our environment.

Nothing beats a surprise rainbow offset by sun and rain #Aotearoa is a compact country... there is so much to see and contemplate even over a couple of days. Slice of #retro in @bayofplentynz #Bach weekend... morning view out to farmland/drained #wetland. Working in the #environmental sector, I mostly look at the landscape through a #conservation lens. What's missing is history - understanding the cultural layers. Popped up in my graphics feed this morning: an image I took years ago of insect riddled leaves juxtaposed with others used as stencils... from the bewildering, extraordinary colonial juggernaut @pittriversmuseum #paperwork Monday... rainy weather is the perfect time for admin. Cue much coffee drinking... Reminded of drinking a powerful syrupy brew in #Laos some years ago... Light. Making the most of a Sunday morning. From yesterday's brief morning escape up to the #HakarimataSummit and then along the ridge line to look at details: Out and about this morning before settling at my laptop... this caught my eye: a wood ear fungus cupping a pukatea seed...
