We also like to take this opportunity to thank those who have volunteered with PFK in the past, and those who have expressed an interest in volunteering in the future.
During the event, we also want to ensure that all our volunteers, new and old, feel confident volunteering, whether that be at community events, as street champions, working in hit squads, or helping out at planting days. To this end, we have some skill-building activities planned to help us get to know each other, and PFK, better.
We would love for you to join us for an evening of community building and celebration. Get in touch if you are interested enquiries@pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz

The rāhui (ban) means access to the island in the Hauraki Gulf will be restricted and the campground closed for the next 30 days while the Department of Conservation (DOC) and the iwi Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki works to trap the stoats.
Ferry services to Rangitoto Island are unaffected by the rāhui.
Motutapu Island has now had four stoat outbreaks in one year. Stoats pose a significant risk to threatened native birds and lizards.
“We are asking people to take note of iwi rāhui and not to visit Motutapu while our first priority is catching the remaining stoats,” DOC incursion response advisor Claire Warren said.
