"The saying "from small seeds grow mighty trees" could be applicable for our next interview.
What started as a way to replant native trees on a budget has grown into an impressive array of biodiversity projects at AUT's campus on Auckland's North Shore.

At the helm is a man described as an all round nature superhero, AUT groundsman, Niven Winder."
