Mangatarere Predator Free Workshop

Live semi-rurally or rurally? New to the concept of predator control? 

Predator Free Masterton & Carterton and the Mangatarere Catchment Group are hosting an event at Dalefield Hall aimed at lifestyle or rural property owners who are new to predator control or are already trapping but want to know more.

When: Sunday 26 July, 2-4pm

Where: Dalefield Hall, Dalefield Road

Join us for:

  • Information about predators and predator control, and why trapping makes a difference

  • Experts on tap with tailored advice on the best gear for different situations, which pests are likely to be at your place, and tips on a trap network over your land

  • Special insights on Wairarapa’s pekapeka (native bats)

  • A crash course on using the iNaturalist Mātaki Taiao app to learn more about what’s living on your land

  • An update from the Mangatarere Catchment Group and details about getting involved.

Throw in kai, native trees, trapbuilding and spot prizes, and it will be a fun, informative afternoon!

This event is open to everyone in the Wairarapa - urban, lifestyle, and rural folks who are interested - but the Mangatarere Catchment Group are particularly keen to connect with people who live in the Mangatarere catchment.

Thanks to the Wairararapa Catchment Collective and Greater Wellington Regional Council for supporting this kaupapa.
