Pest Free Waterview

About us

Pest Free Waterview was started in early 2020 to extend the work of Urban Ark groups into Waterview and to protect the western flank of Te Auaunga / Oakley Creek.

We’re still a small group but are looking to grow pest animal trapping activities. Please get in touch for a free rat trap!

Waterview’s unique lanscape calls for dedicated backyard trappers to help keep pest animal numbers down and lift native birdlife numbers up. Please request to join the trap network here and we will guide you in the direction of a free trap and safety box !
