Trapping and Planting

Action is underway to re-establish an active trapping team and programme in our school. We have made connections with Kiwi Coast who have a sophisticated database of trap locations and catch information, all on the internet. 

This opportunity is one where we would be involved in setting up GPS trackers on all our traps and having the children involved capturing and recording the data. It would also likely move beyond the current school boundaries to include establishing a trapping and information campaign in the Te Tii Village. 

We would become part of the predator free programme running on the peninsula in a more formal capacity.

Some of the team met with Zane from Kiwi Coast to discuss some planning around what the next steps would be. The team will meet again in a couple of weeks to set up an organised location map for traps around the boundary of the school.
