Co-chair Peter Hosking is the Operations Manager for Pest free Piha and Chairperson of the Piha Wetland Trust. He has had an interest in conservation since the 1970s, when he was treasurer of the South Auckland Conservation Association based in Hamilton. Over the past 25 years, he and his partner have completed the restoration of a 5.5ha block of regenerating bush burned by an arsonist in 1994 and again in 1998 and 2018. Predator control on the property has seen the return of nesting grey-faced petrels for the first time in living memory.
