       Disclaimer

      This book is based on a long-standing environmental training program based in Auckland, New Zealand. It has now spread to many other parts of the country and has been emulated in Australia (we adopted it from the USA, so it keeps spreading!). The core principles are generic to any environmental jurisdiction, but because legal and administrative frameworks and levels of program resourcing vary from place to place, you will need to adapt the information provided to meet your own needs and opportunities.

      I can’t guarantee replicable results from following the advice in this book – though I know that if you use it to set up or enhance your environmental training program, or to better evaluate its outcomes, you will achieve more success.
