Autorenporträt
Dick Veitch spent his working career with the New Zealand Wildlife Service, now part of the Department of Conservation. After completing a Wildlife Traineeship he worked in various positions around the country with the final goal of work on the northern offshore islands. His work as a threatened species officer took him to most parts of New Zealand, its outlying islands and quite a few other islands around the world. His first contact with Hauturu was with the team carrying out the capture and transfer of kiwi to Ponui Island, where they now thrive. He later managed the cat eradication project, transfer of hihi to other islands, the return of tieke to Hauturu and the transfer of kokako from North Island forests to Hauturu. Dick is now retired, but is still actively involved with restoration projects on Hauturu. Lyn Wade has been a member of the Little Barrier Island (Hauturu) Supporters' Trust since its inception in 1997; she has been a trustee since 2005 and is the current chairperson. Lyn is a registered nurse and has a Diploma in Conservation Management from Northtec and a Bachelor of Applied Science, Biodiversity Management from Unitec. Her first visit to Hauturu was in 1956 alongside her father, Bill Hamilton, in the course of researching his DSIR Bulletin 137 'Little Barrier Island (Hauturu)'. Lyn has made multiple visits to the island in various capacities since then. In 2018 Lyn was awarded a QSM for her services to conservation, in particular for work she has done on Te Hauturu-o-Toi.
