The trapping team have been continuing their good work around the school to assist with pest control in our region. Zane from Kiwi Coast has been visiting regularly to support the team and has added some of our traps to the network of traps being monitored.
Currently 2 traps have been GPS'ed and are visible towards the back of the school grounds. These are significant traps with stoats as the possible prey, although they will also eliminate rats.
We will continue to develop our recording of pests trapped. The team will be looking to expand their reach in the community as time goes on with the hope that they can encourage others to keep and maintain traps in the neighbourhood.
The trapping team are currently Phoenix, Oakley (Room 5), Louie, Ethan, Mahi (Room 4). We will expand the group based on interest and the group will also help to train younger students in Room 3 with an eye to the future.
