Hi, I'm Ashley! 👋

Some of you may have seen me online and around the Wellington region's rivers and lakes! I've been visiting waterways across the region, talking to people about freshwater pests and how they can avoid spreading them. Everyone (from boaties to fishermen and swimmers, as well as campers and hikers) needs to be aware of freshwater pests, because they are easily spread and cause many problems.

I'm going to be popping by a bunch of upcoming Greater Wellington Get Outdoors events this Summer, with my arms filled with the Check Clean Dry packs in between visiting the waterways, so if you see me come say hi and feel free to ask me any questions!

Check out the work that myself and some of my team get up to at www.gw.govt.nz...

They’re critically endangered, but this year we have a chance to save them. Less than 30% of their habitat is protected from deadly set nets. Now the government is reviewing their plan for protecting these precious dolphins.

That’s where you come in. The more data we have about where Māui dolphins swim, the more chance we have of protecting them. If you see a dolphin with a rounded fin, send it in!

Just call 0800 FOR MAUIS or head over to our website.
