Congratulations to Kerry Hudson on the recognition of his outstanding contribution to land management in our region.
Kerry has worked alongside all landowners in Tairāwhiti over many, many years, through all sorts of government and local government-led initiatives.
Kerry knows our region like the back of his hand and is respected by the landowning community because he understands the issues for conservation, the wider environment and the landowners and pastoral farmers in our region.
It is good to see the quiet contribution that Kerry makes recognised.
