Solomon joins QEII Trust
The Conservation Minister has appointed Ngāi Tahu woman Gina Solomon as a director of the QEII National Trust, which helps private landowners protect significant natural and cultural features through open space covenants.
She replaces retiring member Edward Ellison, also from Ngāi Tahu, and is the only Māori on the board.
Ms Solomon says she has become aware of the work of the trust through her involvement with her Kaikoura rūnanga and DOC.
She sits on a number of other boards and committees, including the Nelson/ Marlborough Conservation Board, Te Korowai ō Te Tai ō Marokura, and Kaikoura Coastal Marine Guardians.
