On 19 September 2019, our Restoration Activator Neil Henderson and two students (Jack Lee and Tia McNichol), who are part of the Hobsonville Point Pesky Pests team, attended Mayoral Conservation Awards ceremony. Pesky Pests had been nominated for the Collaboration Award and were up against four other groups. Despite not winning the first prize, the team enjoyed the occasion were proud of their achievements towards pest free NZ. Congratulations!
