Predator free apprenticeship scheme gets funding boost

From Morning Report, 8:49 am on 23 September 2021

An apprenticeship programme aimed at ridding Aotearoa of its worst pests has received a $2 million funding boost.

The two-year programme kicked off last year and is aimed at increasing the numbers of skilled workers involved in predator control.

It's a timely boost to work aimed at meeting the government's goal of eradicating the country's most destructive, introduced pests.
