Last week the WAI Wānaka Jobs for Nature team underwent two days of driver training with the TR Group to skill up on off-road winter driving. This training proved extremely popular and gave the teams the skills and confidence to manage driving conditions while out on farms this winter.

WILDING PINES IN THE UPPER CLUTHA
There is national funding available for wilding pine control projects, and WAI Wānaka would like to connect with interested people and organisations in the Upper Clutha. Applications close early June, and we’d like to collaborate on a coordinated and cohesive approach for wilding pine control in the basin.
