Kate Graeme is the new President of Forest and Bird - the first woman to hold the role in its 101 year history.
She has been on the board for ten years and is involved in many other conservation projects.
Her parents were both honored for their work with the Society and her mother, Ann, ran the Kiwi Conservation Club for years.
Kate Graeme says she's taking on the role at one of the most critical times for wild life and wild places.
