Free Predator Pulse training: Recording your predator pulse info (drop-in sessions)
These free drop-in sessions will help you start recording information about predator control during the quarterly predator pulse. Just come in anytime during the allocated times on the day that suits.
Our experts will get you set up so you can record each time you check your traps or bait stations.
Just drop in during the hour to get set up.
The data you will collect can be viewed at the end of the predator pulse and provides PFK with valuable information in the ongoing battle to control invasive mammals.
We will be using EcoTrack for collecting data, so if you are new to it, or you are already using it but need help, come along.
Bring along your smartphone or a laptop if you can.
Note: Recording your data in EcoTrack is one of the criteria for entering our Great Predator Blitz August 2021 Competition (for details on the competition see previous post).
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
