Edward Aitken

Edward lives in Pigeon Bay with wife Penny on a 1100 ha sheep and beef breeding property. This developed farm is now managed by son Angus in conjuction with an intensive farm in North Canterbury. Farm stay accommodation is available and Edward is a director and shareholder of marine farming companies in the area. There have been many years involvement, with Federated Farmers, in the District Plan process, out of which has evolved the BPCT.

This Trust, with all the hard work from its members and staff, offers a successful model for a voluntary approach to environment enhancement, which Edward is pleased too be supporting as a trustee.
