Generous donation to wildlife centre
Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre received two quad bikes donated by Bevan and Ingrid Bisset from Bisset Honda in Pahiatua. The quad bikes will be used as part of the Department of Conservation Jobs for Nature funded rabbit control programme.
Wairarapa Hunting and Fishing have also donated firearms and a range of high performance clothing, footwear and hunting equipment for the rabbit programme team to operate with.
The rabbit control programme works in the buffer zone around the reserve to control a burgeoning rabbit population, coordinating neighbours and landowners, DOC, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Horizons Regional Council.
