Show 77 Kim Lawry (Project Manager Mercury Bay Environmental Trust)Welcome to ALTBAYS Show (feat. Christine Threadgold and Leo Magri)Meet Kim LawryKim believes that New Zealand’s ecosystems are truly unique, evolved over millions of years in isolation from the outside world. Since the arrival of man, so much has changed. Many people realise just how special the New Zealand environment is, and just how much work is required to protect it for future generations.Kim ran COLC, an international language school, for many years. From as early as 2012 the students from the school's Activity Programme, began to help establish a Native Plant Nursery, and over time we developed a number of other environmental initiatives. In the course of the next seven years those ideas grew into projects reaching out into our community and the surrounding area.When the language school closed its doors in 2019, its nursery and the attached environmental projects continued to evolve into what is the Mercury Bay Environmental Trust (MBET) today, running a nursery in Whitianga, supplying eco-sourced native plants for, and being involved with the planting and upkeep of several restoration projects around the Coromandel Peninsula. ALTBAYS Show invites awesome people from Aotearoa, New Zealand, to have an honest, laid-back conversation. Our platform focuses on bringing communities together to grow and thrive.
