The Crusaders were an integral part of the Christchurch community and their visit to the kindergarten was also a way of linking the kindergarten with the wider community, Ms Davey said.

REDCLIFFS Community Farmers Market has closed for the winter. It will reopen on Wednesday, September 5.

Conservation work rewarded Tania Butterfield “GOBSMACKED” is Woolston resident Tanya Jenkins’ response when asked about being awarded a Queen’s Service Medal in the Queen’s Birthday honours list for services to conservation. “I really felt quite overwhelmed. You don’t expect it. It was a total surprise but I’m extremely grateful.” When you hear about a few of Ms Jenkins’ achievements, such as introducing Sea Week to New Zealand and creating environmental educational materials for teachers, it’s not hard to understand why she was nominated and awarded the QSM. But she is coy about her award, acknowledging the numerous volunteers she

has worked with in various projects. “Everyone wants to make a difference in the world and this is recognition that perhaps I have made a little bit of difference. It makes me quite emotional. “I’m a little bit embarrassed because I’m not the only one out there doing things. The more I reflect on it, the more honoured I feel,” she said. Ms Jenkins moved to Christchurch from Holland in the 1970s. She credits her parents with helping her to value the environment. “My parents were great Forest & Bird members. They used to take us out for walks and into the bush. We really appreciated nature

and I wanted to pass that on to my kids.” After moving to New Zealand it became apparent there was a lack of awareness of how beautiful the environment was, Ms Jenkins said. She started a travelling road show around Canterbury and the West Coast, teaching children about the environment and how they could look after it. “My motto is Awareness + Education = Protection. If you make children aware of how special this bird is but the bad thing is they are endangered, they then start thinking, ‘what can we do about it?’ That’s how you get children to take an interest in protecting the environment.” Continued on page 2
