Pest Free Herne Bay ~ Ponsonby trap giveaway

Saturday 9 July 2022, 11:00am - 1:00pm

Get your free rat trap and help bring back native birds!

Reducing the numbers of introduced predators (rats, possums etc) gives native birds, skinks geckos and much more a fighting chance to thrive. If you live in Herne Bay, Ponsonby, St Mary’s Bay or Freeman’s Bay, come along and get a free trap for your garden. Each trap comes with a protective safety box which reduces the chance of pets’ paws, kids’ fingers and native birds getting caught in the trap.

We’ll show you how to use the trap safely, effectively and humanely. All we ask in return is that you tell us what you’ve caught and when.

Where: Cox’s Bay Reserve on Kingsley St, accessed off West End Road (see map below).

When: Saturday 9 July, 11am to 1pm.

Live somehere else in inner west Auckland? Check out the Urban Ark website to find your local group.
