From Field to Map: Waitākere Ranges GIS Workshop

A huge amount of work goes into trapping, monitoring, and restoring the Waitākere Ranges. Alongside this effort, we're building up a valuable collection of data that can help us understand what's happening across the landscape and support our conservation work. Join us for an informal workshop to explore what this data is telling us, share ideas, and get practical support with mapping and data management. What we'll cover: • The bigger picture: Explore trapping and conservation activity across the Waitākere Ranges through maps, trends, and insights. • Open discussion: Share experiences, challenges, and ideas for improving how we collect and use conservation data. • Practical support: Get help with TrapNZ, ArcGIS Online (AGOL), mapping, reporting, and other technical questions. The workshop is open to community conservation volunteers, group coordinators, Auckland Council rangers, and anyone involved in conservation across the ranges. No GIS experience is needed. Whether you're interested in the bigger picture or have a specific technical question, you're very welcome to join us. If there's something you'd particularly like covered, please get in touch beforehand.
