Janet Bathgate is looking for Home Videos taken at the Maitai River particularly Dennes and Black Hole that she could use inconjunction with the interpretation panel she is designing for Branford Park. Users would be able to access the home video footage combined with interviews with FOM members and other experts exploring the river and talking about it.
Janet researches, writes and designs many of the interpretation panels that you might have noticed around the city. She is currently creating a panel for Branford Park for the Nelson City Council and this features a small paragraph on Friends of the Maitai, alongside a montage of eels, native fish, creepy crawlies, insects, eels etc.
The panel could have a link for smartphones to present additional information to Maitai Valley users, especially over summer while they are lying around the swimming holes and picnicking on the grass.
If you have any footage Janet could use please contact her at janet@janetbathgate.com
