I'm fascinated by nature, mostly by species endemic to New Zealand. I'm simply a regular guy from Christchurch, New Zealand, trying to make a difference in this often-forgotten corner of the world. This page is mostly a collection of stuff and links I find useful. I have significantly worked thru the articles listed here. :-)

Articles I have significantly contributed to

Article	Class	Location	Notes
Metrosideros bartlettii	FA	NI	An incredibly rare tree endemic to the Northland Region of New Zealand. M. Bartlettii is sadly rapidly declining, with only 13 adult trees known to exist in the wild! My first FA, I enjoyed writing it.
Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park	GA	SI	Collaborated as part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/National parks with contributors Marshelec and Wainuiomartian. It's the first New Zealand national park GA.
Bulbinella rossii	GA	AI & CI	A subantarctic megaherb that is endemic to the Auckland and Campbell Islands. It has long strap-like leaves and golden-yellow flowers. The Bulbinella genus is a personal favorite too. Also featured on the New Zealand five-dollar note!
Corynocarpus laevigatus	GA	SI & NI	An endemic evergreen tree it is common thruout the North Island and less common in the South Island, with the Banks Peninsula and Christchurch being its southernmost natrurally occuring population.
Dacrydium cupressinum	GA	SI & NI	An endemic evergreen tree it is common thruout the North, South, and Stewart Islands. It played a significant role in both the Māori and European cultures of New Zealand. I enjoyed writing it.
Foveaux Strait	GA	SI & ST	Collaborated with Marshelec. A significant geographical feature of the Southland Region and, to some extent, New Zealand. Hopefully one day someone will bring the Cook Strait article to GA.
Nothofagus menziesii	GA	SI & NI	A common species of tree endemic to New Zealand. Predominantly found in the cold and wet forests in the South Island. Nothofagus timber was crafted into fishing hooks by Māori. Apparently also a "Level 5" vital article.
Opawa	GA	SI	A suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. Though I don't live in this suburb specifically, I'm always fascinated when I walk thru the suburb knowing its history and connection with the Englishmen.
Statue of Robert Falcon Scott, Christchurch	GA	SI	A statue honoring explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Sadly, Scott perished on his return journey from the South Pole in 1912. In response, locals decided to fund to build a statue of him in Central Christchurch.
