Lynette Hartley

Lynette has been involved professionally in ecology and conservation in New Zealand for well over 20 years. She is passionate about our native ecosystems and knowledgeable about the issues they face from introduced predators. Lynette’s PhD looked at native birds and their interactions with the poisons used to battle introduced pests.

Lynette has always enjoyed sharing her enthusiasm for New Zealand and its scenery with visitors. Lynette spends a lot of her spare time in the New Zealand outdoors and is actively involved in the reforestation and restoration of the urban reserve adjacent to her house in Christchurch.

Lynette’s enthusiasm for the natural world extends to drawing and painting New Zealand wildlife. Her work can be seen on her website.
