The purpose of our Wānanga is to provide an inspirational professional development and networking opportunity for all those involved or interested in freshwater and marine conservation. It is usually held in April on Marae around Aotearoa. Run by Mountains to Sea, our Wānanga weave together the needs and experiences of mana whenua, local stakeholders and scientists to address local issues, highlight successes and upskill the people doing the mahi on the ground. The theme and programme for each Wānanga is tailored to the needs of each region. It is usually a 3 day marae based Wānanga/ conference which can cater 60-100 people.
