When she isn’t in the pharmacy, Wellingtonian Bronwen Shepherd lives a double life as a ranger and conservationist
During the week, Green Cross Health regional manager Bronwen Shepherd is a well-known face in the Wellington pharmacy sector. But in the weekend, she can usually be found working as a ranger at the Zealandia wildlife reserve or in Thorndon, battling to save a local native snail from extinction. Jonathan Chilton-Towle talks to Bronwen about her passion for conservation
