Rangers of Aotearoa New Zealand
Join us at the Arataki Visitor Centre Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. 300 Scenic Drive, Oratia, Waitakere Ranges on Sat 22nd 2.00pm to 5.00pm and Sunday 10.00 to 11.30am.
Contribute to the development and support of the Rangers of Aotearoa New Zealand (ROANZ), the new professional ranger association for natural area workers and conservation land managers.
The World Ranger Congress last year asked all rangers and associations including ROANZ to…
“Advocate for recognition of the ranger professions” because of their “crucial role in safeguarding and delivering ecosystem services essential for human well-being and quality of life”.
- How can we do this?
- How can you as a ranger – in any small way – contribute to your profession locally, nationally and internationally?
Be involved – gather ranger stories – run a World Ranger Day or ranger training event, engage with international rangers, and more.
Check our Facebook page or email roanzsecretary@gmail.com for the programme and times.
