Chocolate fish recipients
We have started recognising some of the good people out there who contribute to public outdoor access, by us posting an occasional chocolate fish to say thank you. The first recipient was tramper Graeme Ferrier for his tireless and enthusiastic advocacy for public outdoor access at the top of the South Island. And the second to catch a fish was Hutt Valley Ranger Claudia Eustace, who organised contractors to clear gorse along a mapped but unmarked route that, now that it is clear, restores access to the ECNZ track on the east side of Hutt Valley.
