Supporting our native birds

Tauranga Central, Western Bay

With one rat likely to kill up to 50 birds in its lifetime, Predator Free Bay of Plenty is on a mission to make Aotearoa predator free by 2050. This backyard trapping initiative is asking for help from the public to eradicate pests from Waiariki, while also spreading awareness in the community around the threat that our native species face from pests.
