Compiled and written by Mike Murphy, this book tells the story of the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary from its earliest days 20+ years ago; it charts the Sanctuary’s journey beginning as a bold idea of Dr. Dave Butler’s and a coalition of willing partners, notably the Nelson City Council, NMIT, the Department of Conservation and local iwi, through to 2024 where it now stands as “proof of concept” the Sanctuary has come a long way over the last 20 years.

Mike Murphy interviewed dozens of individuals involved in the Sanctuary’s development. Mike recorded and transcribed hundreds of hours of conversations which become the foundation of this book.

The Sanctuary Trust would like to record our thanks to Mike Murphy, Don Fraser, Jane Stevens, Deryk Shaw and Peter Hay (the ‘book club’) for their generosity, dedication and enthusiasm for this project carefully researching and documenting the Sanctuary’s first 20 years.
