#2 – Maria Kuster
Feb 16, 202101:17:16Tap to summarizeConservation – In A Place Of Business We bring you episode 2 of The Bush Telegraph from a boat deep in Fiordland. This is home to Flightless, a vessel with a difference. A roof mounted hot tub, Kayaks, fishing gear and world class chefs make a trip to Fiordland the opportunity of a lifetime. We catch up with Maria Kuster who alongside her partner Seán have turned remote tourism on its head with Pure Salt. Sam and Maria discuss the concept of giving back to your place of operation and hear about the processes and relationships involved with starting up one of the most remote and intricate independant conservation projects in Aotearoa. We really start to understand the challenges of Island Conservation, pest eradication, the history that walks before us and chuckle at the personalities behind the scenes. This is an episode for all New Zealanders and a great example of people looking after their piece of the jigsaw puzzle. After all, Aotearoa is our collective responsibility.

Dec 8, 202001:22:43Tap to summarizeDeer- Maintaining The Balance. We bring you Episode 1 of The Bush Telegraph from a smokey hut deep in the Kaimanawa Ranges. This is Sika country and what could be more fitting than to sit around a crackling fire after a hard day’s hunting and chew the fat with Jordan Munn from Trap and Trigger, one of NZ’s ungulate control experts and a mad keen hunter. You will get an insight into deer and tahr control in NZ, the methods used and what the future of our game species could look like. This is an episode for hunters and non hunters alike. It’s just a good old fashioned chin wag about the realities of a topic that is dear to us all.
