New Zealand Land Search & Rescue Inc. (LandSAR) is the national volunteer organisation within New Zealand providing land search & rescue services to the Police and public of New Zealand.

LandSAR NZ Conference: Friday 16 – Sunday 18 November at Bayview Wairakei Resort, Taupo

Two key speakers at this year’s conference have been confirmed :

• Allison Mooney – People Interpreter

• Dr Dave Baldwin – NZ’s very own Flying Doctor

These speakers are Kiwis, who have been chosen to cover topics and general interest areas which we think will be enjoyed by everyone attending the conference. 

We are currently researching searches/and or rescues which have occurred in the last 2-3 years which we can use as case studies for discussion.  We are hoping that in some cases the lost party will also be able to attend, which will enable us all to gain some insight into their perspective of the search experience.

If you have any great ideas for case studies, which you think would appeal to a wide range of SAR practitioners, please e-mail Karen Forsyth, Conference Manager at taupo@landsar.org.nz.

We are also well underway with planning for pre-conference events, which will be held from the Monday to the Thursday before the conference, and will be based in the National Park area, with accommodation available there.

LandSAR receives support from key trusts and funding bodies which allow us to continue our work throughout New Zealand. Read More >
