A couple of the smaller (but no less majestic) maunga o Waikato, as seen from the slopes of Pirongia.
Conservation Week at Pureora village
conservation, pureoraCommentWell, what a Conservation Week... I'm looking forward to DoC being able to return to its primary purpose of protecting our unique animals, plants and wild spaces - not only to the extent that they bring tourism dollars here, but in recognition that these things actually help to define us.
Dave and I also gained our canopy access certificates, so we're qualified to climb forest giants like these 20 metre rimu and tawa on the Waipapa forest loop.... nesting season here we come!
