Proud to be Local — brought to you by CFM — is our inspirational feature, highlighting home-grown Coromandel Peninsula folks doing wonderful things out in the world.
I was full-time island bound, a novice ranger on Great Mercury Island in 2016, not at all well versed in environmental sciences, but with a natural love of nature via curiosity and respect.
Ever wonder why you see ads for things you only mentioned in conversation?
