Help our struggling native birds
Have you had lots of fantails and tuis visiting your place lately? The results are in from the annual Upper Hutt bird count survey completed by our Parks team, showing that while you should be seeing plenty of tui, silvereye, fantail and kingfisher around, some of our other native birds are struggling. Pest Free Upper Hutt have teamed up with Upper Hutt Menzshed and are doing great work trapping predators like rats, stoats and weasels that are targeting our native birds and their eggs. If you’re keen to help look after our native birds, get involved by placing a trap next to your compost bin, in your back yard, or become a coordinator.
