Trap Library East Auckland are looking for people and households to host DOC200 and DC250 Mustelid traps. These traps have specialised lures that help trap stoats, weasels and ferrets.
The team is looking for private properties in strategic locations near Mangemangeroa Reserve, Point View Reserve, and the Whitford side of Mangemangemora Creek to host these traps.
If you have any musetelid sightings, or are interested in finding out more about the trapping project, please email traplibraryeastauckland@gmail.com
Additionally, trapping opportunities are also available for community trap lines in green spaces in Howick ward. The Pest Free Howick Ward team can arrange the required council permissions, provide rat traps and training to get you started!
All volunteers need to be fully vaccinated to work safely in the parks and reserves.
