Help Predator Free Timaru replenish their trap stocks!
Ever wondered about backyard trapping or keen to get involved in our local conservation mahi?
Join us at the South Canterbury Eco Centre at 1.30pm on Sunday 22nd November for a hands-on rat tunnel building session.
You’ll get to:
🐀 Learn about backyard trapping – how and where to set your trap.
🔨 Get hands-on and help us assemble rat tunnels to support Predator Free Timaru.
Want to take a tunnel home? You can assemble your own and for just $20 cash (all materials supplied) take it home!
If you can bring a drill with a square drive that would be super handy!
The event is free to attend, and kids are very welcome! Please let us know you are coming by marking yourself as going or emailing admin@pftimaru.org.nz
A big thank you to Predator Free New Zealand and the Simplicity Foundation for funding towards making these traps. Your support is helped us grow the local trapping effort over the last couple of years and support bringing back our native birds and wildlife here in Timaru.
Come along, learn something new and be part of the mahi!
