Lucky to be alive
Forest and Bird came close to losing three of its conservation campaigners in March when field director Mark Bellingham, Auckland field officer Fiona Edwards and Central North Island field officer Ann Graeme were involved in a head-on collision. Mark, who has been a staff member for eight years, suffered the most serious injuries with a broken hip, and facial and spleen injuries. He will be off work for at least twothree months. Ann was hospitalised with a cracked pelvis and broken ribs. She will be on crutches for some time. Fiona had the ligaments on one of her feet badly torn and had her foot in plaster for some time. The three were on a trip to Waipoua Forest to organise the Easter Gathering there when the accident occurred near Whangarei. We wish them a speedy recovery.
