More than 50 people will be employed on predator and pest control in Northland’s Puketi forest as part of a major surge of Jobs for Nature funding into the region.
Conservation Minister Kiri Allan says over the next three years over $20 million will be invested in 12 projects creating more than 300 jobs.
She says skills learned will help locals move into other employment opportunities beyond the life of the projects.
Many of the projects will also strengthen the ability of iwi and mana whenua to address environmental concerns.
