Our People / Bush Telly
Christchurch-based Bush Telly produces programmes that support conservation in New Zealand. Its items on our natural history and local conservation efforts include interviews with leading conservationists and authors, practical demonstrations, and the science that sits behind conservation. Bush Telly produced its first 50 programmes on a stand at the 2009 Ellerslie International Flower Show. The exhibit, comprising four television sets, won the Supreme Design Award at the show.
