If you want to know anything about the environment or have a query or need a connection, my friend, Noel Peterson the Green Wizard, ex-Tauranga, now of Bluff, is likely to be able to help you. He has worldwide contacts and is up to date on the newest trends in environmental subjects. He's extremely knowledgeable and practical. He practises permaculture on his property and was one of the first to adopt electric bikes and cars.

I stayed with him in May 2018. We visited Stewart Island and Ulva Island on a beautiful winter's day where I wrote this poem:

'Ulva Island's Warring Weka'.
