Kia ora! My name is Wendy.. Home for me is on the Ngunguru awa, in Taitokerau | Northland...where I spend my time with my husband and family of Matuku-hūrepo.

The Love Bittern Project is a love child in a way, an expression of love for Bittern and love in action as I travel to help communities right around New Zealand take their next step to save Bittern from the brink of extinction here in New Zealand.

I couldnt do any if this without the love and support from home... So my journey starts here to acknowledge the loves' of my life
