The group trip to Hinewai Reserve was the most rewarding part of the program. This place stands out as a shining example of what can be accomplished when you dedicate yourself to bettering the environment. Getting the opportunity to meet Hugh was so lucky, and honestly inspiring, as he really showcases a lot of the virtues I love about people, and was more than happy to stop and chat with us students, even when we weren't scheduled to see him at all.

I think preparation for this trip is key. It is important to identify places you want to visit, or things you really want to do, and figure out well in advance when you will be doing them. But it is also important to go with the flow, and never pass up an opportunity to experience anything.

I found that the companies we visited were very eager to share their stories about how and why they have a sustainable business. I also enjoyed being able to talk to the local residents and hearing their story.
