I live up the hill from Bullock Creek. I walk there almost everyday. I’m inspired by the beauty of this little natural haven in the middle of suburbia. I’m a keen conservationist and a regular trapper in the Mt Aspiring National Park. I am constantly awed by the transformation of the wetlands that were previously overgrown when I first moved to Wanaka. Now bellbirds and tui’s serenade me on my walk.

I am a passionate, energetic business leader who is committed to finding innovative ways to create positive change in the world. I feel a responsibility to improve the environment I live in if I wish to keep enjoying it as much as I do.

Roger has been an active member of the Wanaka community since the 80’s. He has been the mastermind and driving force behind many projects down at the wetland. He will often be found in a pair of gumboots doing the hard yards at the site.

Growing up in Central Otago and educated in Dunedin, Barry settled in Wanaka at the beginning of 2016 after 40 years in senior management roles in Auckland and Christchurch. He has been the Treasurer of the Wanaka Residents Association since his move to Wanaka and is an active volunteer in local and regional activities

I am a recent arrival to Wānaka after living and working in many locations throughout New Zealand. My interest in conservation stems from my time working for the New Zealand Forest Service in the 1970’s and running capital projects for DOC in the Southern Islands Area, Southland Conservancy. I was for a time Operations/Facilities Project Manager for the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary in Nelson, the largest predator-proof fenced sanctuary in the South Island. I see the Bullock Creek restoration project as very achievable with a great endpoint of a restored green space that the people of Wānaka can enjoy. I am enthusiastic about becoming a Trustee and progressing this restoration project.
