Dr. Nick Edgar is the Chief Executive of the New Zealand Landcare Trust, with a PhD in freshwater ecology. Originally focused on scientific research studying aquatic ecosystems, he transitioned to applied environmental work, leading a team of coordinators across New Zealand who collaborate with farmers, landowners, and rural communities to improve waterway health through practical conservation efforts.
The conversation explores Nick's unique perspective on wealth, which extends beyond financial success to encompass work-life balance, health, purpose, and environmental impact. He discusses building wealth through traditional methods (shares, KiwiSaver, property) while maintaining his passion for environmental stewardship.
Key initiatives include the Junior Landcare Program, sponsored by the Bupa Foundation, which creates intergenerational partnerships between retirement home residents and school children to address eco-anxiety and promote environmental action. Nick also serves as Chair of Global Landcare, working on international projects in countries like Fiji, Tonga, and Bangladesh.
The discussion covers grant programs supported by partners like Westpac, the challenges of selecting recipients from oversubscribed applications, and Nick's philosophy on intergenerational wealth transfer. He advocates for greater generosity from wealthy individuals and emphasizes the importance of volunteering, concluding with practical career advice for aspiring scientists about gaining real-world experience alongside academic qualifications.
