NZCCM regional Auckland meeting - a great turn out to hear our very own conservation stars Sarah Hillary and Camilla Baskcomb speak about their experience with the BBC TV series Fake or Fortune. Thank you to the speakers and the secret squirrel helpers to make it happen, and the members for coming along! 🌻
