Every episode is a new adventure

The Department of Conservation is charged with caring for Aotearoa New Zealand's natural and historic heritage. This means species, places and ecosystems: all things nature. Every episode, a new expert sits down with our host Erica Wilkinson and we go behind-the-scenes on their work. We've been regaled with so many good work stories. Catching mohua in socks, getting chased by sharks, building a helmet to capture kākāpō sperm (yes, really) our experts have done it all and have the yarns to prove it. This show is produced and directed by Jayne Ramage, edited by Lucy Holyoake, with graphics by Belle Gwilliam.

Emma Williams knows a LOT about bittern. This is impressive because they’re very difficult to find. She calls them the ‘ninjas of the wetlands’. In this episode, Nic and Emma talk about tracking bittern and embarrassing yourself in Mitre 10.
