What if we could amplify the impact of community conservation efforts across an entire region?
We were recently interviewed by Conservation Amplified for their People Helping Nature podcast series. We'll be honest it feels a little awkward sharing our own story, we prefer sharing everyone else's! But here's what Conservation Amplified had to say:
Founded by community, for community, BCA supports and grows the capability of local conservation groups. From helping with admin to facilitating funding applications, BCA enables volunteers to focus on their passion - hands-on conservation work.
But it's not just about operational support. By uniting diverse groups, BCA creates a powerful collective voice for nature.
This collaborative approach is yielding impressive results, such as expanding wildlife habitats, bringing individual community efforts together for larger outcomes, and training the next generation of conservation leaders.
Tune in now to learn more about this inspiring approach to community-led conservation!

Thanks so much for joining our podcast - it was a real pleasure to chat with you and learn more about the journey of BCA, and your insights into the community conservation space!
If you are available to help with these workdays, the kiwi and forest will be very grateful - thanks all 🙏🌿Volunteers needed!
We have workdays on both Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend (12th and 13th October), and another on Tuesday 22nd October.
We need as many people as possible to come and give us a hand removing the toxin from the bait stations.

What was the topic of your conversations last night?
Ours was fascinating! It traversed UBCO bikes, trail cameras, pre-feed, AI, species morphology, the maramataka, biological crime scenes, mindsets over methods, being rockstars and the fact that as conservationists we are either a killer, cuddler or counter!
Massive thanks go to John Biseell from Backblocks Environmental Management Ltd, you are a rockstar! Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge, tricks and tips with all our awesome local trapping volunteers - we are further armed with knowledge to fight the good fight 🙂

Thank you John Bissell Backblocks Environmental Management Ltd and thank you Bay Conservation Alliance. Another fantastic event and opportunity for a trust like ours to reflect, learn and improve on. Some really useful and practical takeaway messages to share with our team 💚🪺🌿
Thanks for putting this event on, it was really informative. Looking forward to putting some of it into practice 😊
Are you aware of how significant an issue the Taiwan Cherry is as a pest plant species dominating our natives? It's great to see community action on this across our region as we try and both educate people's choices AND start removing these trees for the benefit of our natives.
If you are in the Eastern BOP please see below for an opportunity to get involved. 👇

Landcare Okareka volunteers have been onto these weeds for the past 20+ years in our local public conservation land, hence not too many in those areas. Now mostly on private land and road reserves.
