With 30 years experience of indigenous/exotic vegetation and land-related issues in the hill and high country, I can offer substantial expertise in these fields. This is particularly relevant for companies or individuals requiring public accountability for tenure review or alternative land protection methods; where comprehensive botanical or environmental reports are required for resource consent or market compliance purposes or when data is required for on-farm, regional/local planning and development purposes. I also have extensive computing and publishing experience.
