Local Branches

Local branches of NZERN promote ecological restoration efforts, swap hard won experience, provide training and ensure views of members are democratic represented within NZERN.

Activities
Most branches organise field days and provide displays and speakers for many events. > more information

Committee
Members elect a Branch Secretary and committee as required. Elections normally happen at an event like a regional restoration day. Community Relations staff who work for DoC or Councils are ineligible to be elected.

Funds
The National Office can supply a letter to the branch so a Westpac account can be opened. Branch funds come from National Office and local fundraising efforts for local projects.

National Councilor
The branch elects a National Councilor who represents the branch at National Council meetings and National AGM.

How to establish a local branch
Any group of members in a geographic area can establish a branch of NZERN. > more information
