LinksLandSAR is the national volunteer organisation within New Zealand providing Land Search & Rescue Services to the police and public of New Zealand. Our 2,500 trained search and rescue volunteers freely contribute their time but need to equip themselves. The cost of fully equipping a trained volunteer member is over $3,000.
The organisation operates from the high tide mark to the peak of Aoraki/Mount Cook and is principally focused on abseil techniques, alpine skills, avalanche awareness, bushcraft (walking, camping, tramping and survival), firearms safety, outdoor and workplace first aid, outdoor safety, risk management and river safety.
This Department of Conservation (DOC) site has information about the protection of New Zealand's natural and historic heritage, how and where you can enjoy public conservation places and how to get involved in conservation.
