No Manawatū ahau

Ko Ngāti Pākehā te iwi

Ko tēnei tāku mihi ki ngā tāngata whenua o te takiwā o Maungaharuru Tangitū.

Callum grew up in the Manawatū before studying law at Victoria University of Wellington.  Callum obtained a Bachelor of Laws and a Graduate Diploma in Science (Environmental Studies) and is passionate about conservation and the environment. Callum moved to Hawke’s Bay after working as a lawyer in Auckland for three years and his role at MTT is as Kaitātari Kaupapa Here.  He is looking forward to getting to know the tangata whenua MTT represents and the taiao and takiwā for which they are kaitiaki.

“I am excited to be able to assist the MTT Hapū achieving their goals in a space dedicated to the connection between people and the environment.”
