We ventured into our local forest for a post #CycloneGabrielle damage assessment to get an idea of exposures and species worst affected following the gust front.

Thanks to the 100+ participants who tuned in this week to hear our director talk on Aotearoa's wildfire future; this kicked off the seminar series running through 2022!
