At University, Martin Wilson studied politics, international relations, anthropology, psychology, geography, development studies, environmental studies, public policy, commercial law, and economics.
He’s also a musician - but these days he spends most of his time as Events Manager for Capital Productions in Wellington. Following the success of his annual Birdman event, Amelia Nurse went to have a chat with him at his Aro Valley home.
Fleeting flights but soaring smiles
Participants in annual contest Birdman Wellington are challenged to "fly" off a ramp suspended over the harbour - ideally in costumes, and the wackier the better.
The original Birdman was hatched in Selsey, West Sussex in the United Kingdom in 1971 and it has since become an international event.
It was conceived as a human flight competition, with competitors launching themselves from a 10m high platform wearing self-devised flying devices. The winner is the person that achieves the greatest distance from the launch point - and, these days, the first prize is £10,000.
In Wellington, the launch pad is lower, and the primary point is to challenge yourself, create an awesome costume, enjoy the water and have a good time on Wellington Anniversary Day.
In this year's event, held yesterday, friends Holly and Sara came as "happy hula birds" festooned with bird hats, hula skirts, colour-coordinated bathing suits and leis.
They weren't scared, they said: "We did it last year as well. We were pirate parrots!"
Mack, 8, and Stirling, 11, who recently moved to Wellington, were first-time leapers - but Mack had jumped three times by the time RNZ arrived.
Neither had attempted to fly although, Mack said, "I wish I could".
Event organizer Martin Wilson said his personal goal was to promote environmental issues, family activities and creativity.
More than 40 brave fledglings of all ages took to the air this year and, although their flights were fleeting, the smiles soared.

Bio Dynamic Bert
BODY:
Bert van Heuckelum has been told he could plant a broomstick and it would grow. The green-fingered Katikati orchardist left Holland in 1983. His dream was to live self-sufficiently in New Zealand.
EXTENDED BODY:
Two years ago Bert van Heukelum decided he'd had enough of pressing olives.
Bert grows 950 olive trees on his certified bio-dynamic property near Katikati in western Bay of Plenty.
He had imported a press from Italy when his own crop jumped from 500 kilograms to 5-and-a-half tonnes in one year.
Before long he was pressing for 40 other small growers.
"I couldn't leave the shed for seven weeks. I was always in there working and you walk outside and you take your ear protectors off and I could hear the back-packers who were doing the picking having fun, laughing and in the sun and I thought something is wrong with this picture. I don't want to do this any more."
Now Bert is enjoying the sun. He's sold the press.
Bert came to New Zealand in 1983 with a dream of being self sufficient.
"Just to know everything we produced I knew how it was done, where it came from," he says.
He sells his produce; olive oil, fresh and dried olives, figs, herbs, lavender stems and dried lavender, lavender oil and lavender water, at a number of farmers' markets.

Heading down the Waimak
BODY:
Large schools of kahawai are chasing krill in the Waimakariri River mouth in North Canterbury. The annual salmon run is about to start so it's a popular spot for local anglers. Fish and Game councillor Peter Robinson's been fishing at the river mouth since he was a boy and back then the water suffered badly from factory pollution. Today, intensive farming practices and irrigation are impacting on the quality and flow of the river.
EXTENDED BODY:
Large schools of kahawai are chasing krill in the Waimakariri River mouth and the annual salmon run is about to start, so it's a popular spot for North Canterbury anglers.
Fish and Game councillor Peter Robinson has been fishing at the river mouth since he was a boy and every year he suffers from ‘salmon fever’, a malady that is cured only by catching the prized fish. “Sometimes my wife says to me in early March “we need to talk” if it gets too bad… but it’s a healthy pursuit isn’t’ it, it could be worse!”
The chinook or quinnet salmon came from North America about 100 years ago and were released into the rivers in the South Island. They have acclimatised really well so there’s been a natural occurring run of salmon ever since.
From January through until the peak of the season around Easter the salmon will make their run in from the sea and journey up to the headwaters of the river in the mountains to lay their eggs where they were born four years before.
The Waimakariri River used to suffer badly from factory pollution but as the years have gone by Peter believes it has been gradually cleaned up. Today it is intensive farming practices and irrigation that are impacting on the quality and flow of the river.
“Point source pollution is not such an issue any more, now we’ve got the bigger issue of all the development of dairy land in particular and a lot of irrigation going on, so you’ve got lots of water being removed from the river and then you’ve got the intensive farming with the nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorous going into groundwater and then into the river”.
Water quality issues have not stopped the local anglers from casting out into the tidal waters. Norm Symonds has been a regular at the river mouth since 1943 and it’s rare for him to go home empty handed. Over the years he’s hooked some big ones too.
“One particular day here I caught 96 pounds of fish in half an hour; three salmon… two 28 one 38” he says with a grin.
Peter Robinson runs Fish and Game’s 'Fish in Schools' programme in Canterbury. The aim is to give young people the opportunity to raise salmon from the egg stage to fingerlings in the school environment.
The salmon eggs are supplied from a North Canterbury hatchery and are raised by pupils with the support of volunteers and teachers over several months in specially constructed tanks in the classroom.
Pupils carry out on-going monitoring and related curriculum-oriented tasks. This provides hands-on practice of skills in maths, science and environmental studies in particular. It also gives them the opportunity of applying these skills in a real context in the outdoor environment.
Once the fish have grown to fingerlings they are then released into local waterways.
Currently 26 primary and secondary schools are participating in the programme.
