Melanie Dixon Returns to National Wetlands Trust  After a well-earned break, Principal Ecologist and environmental advocate, Melanie Dixon, has rejoined the board of Trustees for the National Wetlands Trust.   Previously, Mel was Deputy Chair for the Trust and lead their Advocacy and Communications sub-committees, where she oversaw external comms, including submissions to the Ministry for the Environment | Manatū mō te Taiao on changes to wetland rules. She is a big supporter of open communications between wetland scientists, citizen scientists, iwi, local government, infrastructure providers, landowners, and community groups.    At Thomas Consultants, we feel very privileged to have Mel as part of our Ecology team.  Her expertise and passion for wetlands will undoubtedly support communities in caring for their local wetlands.  #wetlandconservation #thomasconsultants #nzbusiness wetlandprotection #wetlandrestoration #wetlandecosystem #newzealandwetlands #ecology #environmental #ecologist #trustees #relationships #RamsarConvention #WorldWetlandsDay

Hi! from the Soil Contamination team at Thomas - Joseph, Fleur and Tom. Lead by Joseph Mclay (Chartered Environmental Practitioner - General), they handle the complexities of council regulations for many of our private and commercial clients.    “We’ve written hundreds of soil reports on behalf of clients for submission to Council and have a very clear understanding of what they need from a report. If all the information isn’t there from the get-go it can result in long delays for projects. We produce very detailed soil reports to reduce the likelihood of back-and-forth council requests, because every property is different and therefore treated as such”, says McLay.  Tom Harvey has been involved in projects across a wide range of sectors, including industrial, agricultural, residential, quarry, landfill, petroleum, and horticultural sites. He is well-versed in New Zealand's contaminated land regulations, particularly the NES-CS, and has experience in obtaining consents for complex contaminated sites. Fleur Laut helps clients with contaminated land investigations, and environmental plans. She is experienced in environmental monitoring across a variety of media for a range of sites.
