Wallabies on the loose in Upper Hutt
The hunt for wallabies continues in Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa.
Biosecurity officials appealed for sightings of dama wallabies after they were seen at Pakuratahi Forest in Upper Hutt last September. Four were later recovered dead after a baiting operation.
Glen Falconer, leader of the Greater Wellington Regional Council's pest animal team, said over the Christmas and New Year period monitoring had indicated the pest species’ continued presence – a wallaby had been caught on a trail camera, and a dog had scented an animal, possibly the same individual.
