The forests we still have today didn’t save themselves. 🌿

Fight for the Forests by Paul Bensemann tells the story of the campaigns that helped protect some of Aotearoa’s most important native forests.

From Lake Manapōuri and Pureora to the West Coast beech forests, these were hard-fought battles involving people who refused to stand by and watch them disappear.

The book brings together the stories of the campaigners, politicians, scientists, journalists and others who played a part — and looks at the turning points that changed the future of our forests.

It’s a fascinating piece of New Zealand conservation history, and a timely reminder of just how much can be achieved when people are prepared to speak up.

📷 Art of Landscape Photography Retreat | October 2026

Craig Potton and Richard Young's five-day Art of Landscape Photography Retreat in Golden Bay is now officially sold out.

The retreat invites photographers to explore landscape photography as an art form through image critiques, discussions on artistic vision, guided field sessions, and the rare opportunity to study original prints by legendary photographers including Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter.

If you missed out, it's still worth adding your name to the waiting list, as places can become available.

We look forward to sharing highlights from what promises to be an inspiring week in one of New Zealand's most spectacular landscapes.
