Paul Martin

 

After working out on farms, and in the tourism and outdoor industry as a guide and rock-climbing instructor, Paul wanted to know how to best protect the natural world he loved. He went to university as a mature age student and studied Environmental management and now works as an invasive species officer for his local council (local government).
