Hi I am André Richard Chalmers and I am a New Zealander born in the North Island and living in the South.

I have always liked the environment, geography and nature.

I have specific interests in New Zealand Trees/plants and animals, specifically birds. It seems like people have been doing a lot of work on the birds articles, so I am concentrating on the plant ones in which there are a lot gaps.

Also filling in a lot of gaps in the Otago region.
