Our Guest Speakers
Come along and be inspired by our dynamic speakers, Geoff Reid and Pete Russell, as they share their expertise and passion for environmental preservation.
Geoff Reid
Geoff Reid is a change agent and restoration consultant with a focus on urgent action related to climate, biodiversity collapse, forest restoration, human health, animal welfare, and the loss of resilience. He recognises the inherent failure and self-serving nature of government agencies and institutions in the absence of adequate accountability or dedication.
He has a background in raising public awareness for key issues and advocating for proper solutions and commitment towards meaningful outcomes. He is focused on forest restoration, particularly strategic long term pest plant eradication and control.
Pete Russell
Pete Russell is a prominent advocate for strategic environmental weed management and native forest restoration, with a multifaceted background in conservation. His commitment to tackling environmental weeds dates back to a successful campaign in 1995, where he recognised their under appreciated threat to Aotearoa's biodiversity. Pete played a pivotal role in ending the logging of publicly owned native forests, leading to his strategic and innovative approaches to weed management and forest restoration. From high-value islands to rural properties, he empowers communities and pioneers catchment-level weed management strategies.
Pete's diverse experiences, including international agricultural work, enhance his comprehensive understanding of the industry's challenges. Currently, he oversees multiple sites in the North and South Islands, prioritizing community impact and conservation excellence.
