FREE trapping workshop: 1.30pm Sat. 28 October at Woodend Community Hall

Sonny Whitelaw from BRaid

Want to learn about predators and trapping? Would you be willing to put a trap in your backyard to protect native wildlife (or maybe let someone check the trap for you)? Perhaps you have a few hours to spare each week to check traps in your area.

This workshop aims to increase trapping to protect the amazing bird life in the Ashley estuary and wetlands just north of Christchurch… But it’s not just about the Ashley! If you live anywhere in New Zealand and are interested in finding out more about predators and trapping in your area, come along to this FREE workshop, followed by afternoon tea (we’ll even have chocolate biscuits!) Experienced trappers are coming to swap tips and tricks, so here's your chance to learn more about how we can make New Zealand predator free by 2050.
