Spent the morning at the #huttwinterfestival with the Naenae Nature Trust and DOC. Learning more about trapping predators and building tunnels. Bringing this new knowledge back across the valley to Predator Free Normandale. A group of back yard trappers I have not long taken over the running of. #predatorfreenz #predatorfree2050 #lowerhutt #naenaenaturetrust
One of the many projects I'm stoked to be involved in. We just opened up the trapping network in Molesworth to help reduce introduced mammalian predator numbers down before the black-fronted terns return to breed there in October. They're nationally endangered and endemic to NZ, and are faced with many threats including introduced mammalian predators, habitat loss, weed encroachment and recreational use of rivers. There are serious challenges with protecting these birds in such dynamic and heavily impacted environments but every little bit helps!

Two weeks ago I started working for predator free Wellington on the first stage of their grand plan to eradicate rats, possums and mustelids from Wellington City. Miramar is about 70% installed with a dense grid of traps and bait stations with the plan to eradicate from the Peninsula by Christmas.
Something of this scale in an urban environment has never been attempted before and I'm Hella excited to be involved!! If you see these devices around Wellington, please do not touch! With luck and a ton of hard work we will bring back Kiwi and other native wonders to our beautiful capital city

Look how happy I am to have run into four of my favourite rangers, while I was out and about in Auckland last month. This is the amazing conservation dogs rodent detection team of Fin, Carol, Pai and Piri. I was so excited to see them I couldn't keep my eyes open! #conservationdogsnz #predatorfreenz
