Tauira Mahi Conservation Training 

Following on from Bay Conservation Alliance’s successful Tauira Mahi Cadet Training Programme

The cadet programme, based in the Bay of Plenty (funded by Jobs for Nature through Ministry for Environment), was industry-led and ran from 2021 to 2025. In that time it proved it was meeting the needs of today’s real-world conservation challenges – having a positive impact on graduating cadets (students) and receiving impressive feedback from their subsequent employers and conservation groups from all over New Zealand.

What is Tauira Mahi Conservation Training?

Tauira Mahi Conservation Training is our revised programme and offers both online and in-person training units. Developed to support the ongoing learning and successes of people who are passionate and committed to protecting Aotearoa’s taonga species and critical ecosystems.

Some of our in-person training units will be piloted from late March through April 2026. We are aiming to have online training units available from July 2026.
