Nelson’ Ecofest Welcomes Velvet!
Gillian Pollock, who was in charge of Forest & Bird’s presence at Nelson’s Ecofest this August, has just reported that a huge longfin eel appeared, migrating through the event at the spot where the Maitai River meets the Tasman Sea…… and where the illustrations for “Velvet & Elvis…” were painted. Jo Reilly and her team were the organizers of Ecofest in Nelson for the City Council and Tasman District Council. Gillian sent this photo of new panels being created:

A big “Thanks” to Gillian, Jo and all for making Velvet a centerpiece of this year’s Ecofest in Nelson!
