Popular Speaker at Friends of the Otaki River AGM (October 2013)

At last month's AGM river volunteer Ron Eckman gave a well received presentation on innovative  ways of involving the wider community in conservation and restoration projects. He described how he and his team involved more than 1,000 people in native tree restoration - in the heart of  downtown Wellington. Yes, people in suits and women in high heels! And all without any funding. Ron is willing to share his story, what he has learned about getting people motivated, and repeat his presentation for other interested groups.
