Free Predator Pulse training: Recording your predator pulse info (drop-in sessions)

The Team from Pest Free Kaipātiki Restoration Society (Inc.)

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).

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
