What species would you like to see flourishing in your area?

The song birds are the most obvious, but my interest is in preserving and enhancing an ecology. The mosses and fungi are beautiful and fascinating. The insects and worms are typically unseen, but intellectually it is nice to know that they are thriving. Mice predate and degrade the base of a NZ ecosystem, and we remove them along with rats and possum.

What would you say to encourage others to get involved?

Every contribution matters, just do what you can. When time and money are scarce, your support for the vision is a wonderful and sufficient gift. When circumstances permit, donate your knowledge, time and/or wealth.
