Training Workshops 2021/2022
We are yet to finish the major redevelopment of buildings and facilities at our Lincoln site, but we are able to offer biocontrol training workshops in other places. If you are interested in attending one of our workshops in the coming year (details below), please fill in the attached page and send it back to Angela Bownes before the end of September. An indication of interest is all that we need at this stage, not a definite commitment. Dates and venues for all workshops will be finalised once expressions of interest have been received. Workshops will only go ahead if there is sufficient demand for them. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to ask
Weed Biocontrol Basic Training, Hamilton, late November/early December 2021
This is a 2-day introductory workshop that aims to give people a good feel for what biocontrol is all about. We cover as many aspects of the underlying philosophy and current projects as we can in the time available, and augment indoor sessions with practical activities in the field. If your organisation contributes to, or supports our research in some way, then there is no charge for this course, and it is ideal for new staff. If not you may still be able to attend, if there are places available.
Weed Biocontrol Advanced Training, Hamilton or Auckland, March/April 2022
This 2-day workshop builds on the introductory one, and aims to bring people up to speed with new developments since they undertook basic training, and it covers some topics in more depth. In conjunction with the basic course, the aim of this training is to give people the skills and confidence to manage their own biocontrol programmes. This course is ideal for people who have undertaken a basic training course 2 or more years ago, or for people who have had considerable experience working with biocontrol in the field. If your organisation contributes to, or supports our research in some way, then there is no charge for this course. If not, you may still be able to attend, if there are places available.
Biosecurity Bonanza, May 2022
We are unsure whether the popular Biosecurity Bonanza will be an in-person or on-line event (as it was in 2020 and 2021). If you are not already on the mailing list and would like to be kept informed about this event, please let us know. The idea of the Biosecurity Bonanza is to share the latest weed, and other biosecurity-related research being undertaken by Landcare Research and is a chance for you to tell us about your research needs. There is no cost for attendance.
