Through my river conservation work I was interviewed for this New Zealand River Conservation Film in 2017.
I also did an extended feature about industrial pollution of the Heathcote River, which is available in the bonus features section of the DVD of the film.
It is a film about Canterbury Rivers, now showing in Christchurch, and on tour around New Zealand.
For you keen salmon anglers, it features interviews with Fish & Game New Zealand and Salmon Anglers on the Rakaia.
It was a privilege to appear in this documentary talking about Heathcote River protection, which is what I do for a day job as a freshwater advocate.
My focus is Haytons Stream in the upper Heathcote River, near my home in Christchurch.
Haytons Stream was once so clean that wild salmon ran up the Heathcote River to breed in it, but these days I have never seen anything living in it. I am working on that though, and hope to enable fish to return to it one day!

Seven Rivers Walking
I'm going to go watch it at the Tannery theatre tomorrow! https://deluxecinemas.co.nz/movies/seven-rivers-walking/#
One of the sponsors of this film was my employer, The Canterbury Regional Council.
P.S. remember to enrol to vote in the central AND local Government elections, and make your vote count for clean water for fishing!
