WELCOME EDDY!! We're excited to welcome Eddy to our field team. Already he's launched into the work with as much enthusiasm and big smiles as our other newbie, Spike. Here's five quick questions with Eddy 👇
1. where did you grow up?
Grew up in Pukerua Bay in Wellington, probably spent more days in the Tararuas than the school calendar knew about.
2. what draws you to working outside?
I love being outside, the air is fresh and problems are further away, and most of them just need you to sort them out on your own
3. what other jobs have you done?
I’ve been a builder, building consultant, fisherman and commercial diver, I spent a season on Rarotonga trapping rats to save the kakerori
4. what makes you stop and wonder when you're out in nature
I love seeing the bush recover itself, it’s an absolute privilege to walk through a stand of Kauri saplings all reaching for the sky
5. what was the most surprising thing about the work?
The most surprising thing about the work is the fact I’m enjoying it so much, I come out of the bush and say to Paul (Ops manager), “So, how much do I owe you again?”
💚Love it, thanks Eddy, we're so fortunate to have you join the team
