Te Korowai o Waiheke Backyard trapping kitsets are now available to purchase on the island, so it seems like a good opportunity to talk about all things rat trapping.

On this day, the 24th of February, we celebrate the collaborative efforts of the island-wide stoat eradication project as it reaches its second anniversary.

Faced with disruptions associated with the Omicron outbreak in New Zealand, Te Korowai o Waiheke has taken technical advice to modify the rat eradication pilot beginning on May 2nd.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between shorebirds and seabirds?

It’s Auckland Anniversary and while a public holiday is a nice way to mark the occasion, we want to take the opportunity to celebrate the region where predator-free began. 

2021 has been a rollercoaster of a year. Some months have been exhilarating, gaining momentum towards a number of collective goals, while others have chugged away slowly in the background. It’s been a big year and as the ride of 2021 draws to a close, we take a moment to look back on the highlights that made it memorable.
