The Predator Free Peninsula team has been giving out free traps in our suburbs and one of our regular visiting families has got on board with so much enthusiasm that they offered to maintain our traps here at the centre.
Peanut butter prep happened today and a placement of 4 traps around the property has started!
If you would like your own trap and live on the Peninsula then please check out their website www.pfw.org.nz... and get in touch with them directly.
Hope all is well and that the early rise of spring bulbs are putting a smile on your face. I sure am happy about it!
