Having moved to Aotearoa, NZ in 2001, Wayne quickly developed a passion for our unique biodiversity. Since starting his contracting business in 2002, he has been fortunate enough to work in the community conservation space supporting and guiding conservation groups and landowners to achieve their conservation goals. This has helped him to develop a broad understanding of ecological processes, especially coastal and forest ecology and the challenges we face in caring for them. He is a self-confessed native plant geek and has a particular interest in natural regeneration and native forest establishment. Wayne has held roles with the QEII National Trust, Trees that Count, Whakātane Kiwi Trust, Kōkako Ecosystem Expansion Programme (KEEP) and Bay Conservation Alliance.
