Grac is a young queer conservationist who has recently come on board the team at Matuku Link to add their skills in storytelling for conservation.
They have been volunteering with us for just over a year now, helping out with the School Holiday Programme, getting their hands dirty in the nursery, doing bait lines and general mahi around our wetlands. Growing up in the Waitākere Ranges, they developed a passion for connecting community and te taiao which spans both terrestrial and marine spaces.
Grac has a BA/BSc in Anthropology and Marine Science, and works for Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust as their Volunteer Coordinator. They regularly volunteer with other conservation initiatives and a peace education organisation, CISV, as well. As a young, queer, disabled person Grac strives to improve accessibility and intersectionality in conservation spaces for all.
