We have recently received funding for 20 A24 predator traps! A nifty new trap made by Goodnature the A24 resets itself so requires little maintenance and is great for those inaccessible places. Thank you to DoC, Genesis Energy and the Central North Island Blue Duck Trust and individuals. Look out for the bright orange traps next time you visit us.

The girls completed the gruelling cycle there and back in one day, leaving before light and arriving back just after dark. Well done girls!
