For\u00a0Gillian Wratt her science and environmental work is much more than a paying job.<\/p>\n

The Nelson woman’s efforts to preserve\u00a0New Zealand’s nature and her work with environmental and outdoor\u00a0groups has\u00a0seen her recognised as a\u00a0Kiwibank\u00a0local hero.<\/p>\n

“To me the environment and recreation are important to my\u00a0welfare. And I think they’re important to society’s\u00a0welfare, communities\u00a0welfare,” Wratt said.<\/p>\n

“I feel I’ve been fortunate because I’ve been able to get to do work that I feel is valuable, is worth doing. It’s not just going to work and getting a\u00a0pay\u00a0cheque, it’s going to work to do something I believe in and enjoy,” Wratt said.<\/p>\n

“I’m passionate about the mix of the environment, science and the outdoors.”<\/p>\n

Wratt said Cawthron Trust Foundation manager Elizabeth Bean nominated the Nelson Tasman\u00a0Cycle Trails Trust, which Wratt chairs,\u00a0for the awards.<\/p>\n

“Then she said to me ‘oh we can nominate you as well’, so I reluctantly agreed.”<\/p>\n

Wratt has spent the past 20 years working in senior executive management roles in the science and environmental sectors.<\/p>\n

She spent 10\u00a0years as the chief executive\u00a0of the\u00a0New Zealand Antarctic Institute and six years as the head\u00a0of the Cawthron Institute.<\/p>\n

Wratt also chairs the\u00a0Project\u00a0Janszoon\u00a0Trust carrying out conservation projects in the Abel Tasman National Park, and\u00a0is\u00a0on the board of\u00a0the Environmental Protection Authority, Our Land and Water National Science Challenge, Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce and New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Association.<\/p>\n
