Connect | April 2023

Kia ora <<First Name>>,

April has been a busy month for our team in and out of the office! We have wrapped up our Roar campaign that ran over March and April, and released new updates to Plan My Walk. Some of the team were out in the field installing a new remote camera in Nelson Lakes National Park, as well as filming the new Paparoa Track mountain biking safety video (see photos below). It's been all go here before the wintry weather sets in and we look ahead to our annual winter campaign.
