Governor General opens Forest and Bird's new Head Office
A WEEK after the unveiling of our stunning new mural (see cover), Her Excellency the Governor General, Dame Catherine Tizard formally opened Forest and Bird’s new building.
The reception was hosted by Society President Gordon Ell, and attended by Distinguished Life Members, local branch officers, dignitaries, media and staff. She was guided through "Gateway For Giants" into the building by staff members disguised as kakariki, kokako,tui and takahe, in the now famous bird costumes. Dame Catherine spoke about her own involvement with Forest and Bird and shared some of the
memories she had of the Society. She said that conservation and habitat protection were important to her and was pleased to act as patron to the Society during her time as Governor General. It was an important and enjoyable occasion for Forest and Bird and we hope that in the future there will other opportunities to celebrate successes in conservation.
