You might be eligible to join a 12-week fulltime conservation programme based in Hawera.
You’ll train with community conservation partners to gain practical experience in areas including health and safety, GPS and map navigation, identifying weeds, pest control, quad bike training, chainsaw and brushcutter safety, track cutting and clearing, and firearms safety.
If needed, transport can be provided from Eltham.
The training programme is provided by Feats, a private training establishment, and is run in partnership with Stratford District Council, Mayors Taskforce for Jobs, Chamber of Commerce and Tupu-ā-nuku.
The first intake will start on 19 April, but there will be rolling intakes. To learn more and find out if you would be eligible for the programme, call Feats on 0800 505479.
