Zealandia prepares for the people to come back

Eco sanctuaries around the country look set to open their gates to the public once we're at level 2, allowing stir crazy people to 'go bush'.

At Wellington's Zealandia, rangers have been working throughout the lockdown and now it's planning for the level 2 reopening. Danielle Shanahan is Zealandia's Director of the Centre for People and Nature. She chats to Jesse about what Zealandia's been like without its visitors.
