Welcome Weta, Rats rack off!

Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village

Watch out rats of the North Shore! Your time is up, thanks to two industrious residents from Ryman Healthcare’s Bert Sutcliffe Village.

The Village Workshop dream team Norris and Dick have been busy rustling up rat traps for their local conservation group, Pest Free Kapātiki (PFK) who will distribute the traps in reserves in the Birkenhead area.

The duo have got the production down to a fine art, and are ready to start on the next batch after PFK’s Senior Restoration Advisor Fiona Smal recently dropped off another load of fence palings.

“We are incredibly grateful to Norris and Dick for making both the rat traps and the awesome wētā hotels,” she said.
