Origins

In 1980, independently, the late Barbara Mitcalfe and Chris Horne both joined Wellington Botanical Society. Alongside professional botanists, and amateurs like ourselves, they enjoyed botanising Aotearoa’s native plant communities on field trips. They have benefitted greatly from this privilege. Their enthusiasm for learning more about indigenous ecosystems, supplemented by reading botanical publications, and attending workshops, never left them.

In the 1990s, what had started as a hobby, led to botany-related contract work for DOC, GWRC, WCC, HCC, and even for a quarrying company. Barbara and Chris continued to do voluntary work outdoors and indoors: compiling plant lists, including those for use on TTC plant-identification trips, and writing articles on native plants for The Tararua Tramper.

Since March 2018 Michele Dickson has continued the fine In the hills tradition.
