NatureWatch NZ is running free weekend workshops to help your community group to understand how nature is changing in your restoration project or favourite wild area.

These workshops provide a grounding in the basics of monitoring, followed by individual hands-on help establishing or refining a monitoring programme that meets your needs.

Join us to learn more about watching the nature near you.

This year, NatureWatch NZ is working with Nature Space (naturespace.org.nz), Auckland Council, and Environment Canterbury, to help you monitor nature in your local restoration project or favourite wild area. How quickly is wild nature returning to your restoration site? What species are still missing? Are pests and weeds reducing the native biodiversity at your site? Answering these questions requires monitoring. Monitoring is much easier, and more interesting, now that you can connect to naturalists throughout NZ using NatureWatch NZ (naturewatch.org,nz).

Registration is preferentially open to Nature Space affiliated restoration groups on a first come first serve basis.

Registration details and more information are at naturewatch.org.nz/pages/workshops_nz
