Pest Free Warkworth is exploring the rollout of a new trapline through Lucy Moore Park, as well as investigating how to get on top of the many weed species in the reserve.
Lead coordinator Tim Armitage says the group has Auckland Council’s full support to move to active planning of this line and the aim is to deploy it within the next few weeks.
“We are also actively planning the rollout of a new trapline in the Woodcocks Kawaka Reserve, which is a little outside of the township, but is an absolute treasure that will benefit from pest control,” Armitage says.
Possum trapping facilities into Kowhai Park are being extended. Armitage says residents alongside the park have reported 18 possums caught there in the past two to three months and there will be many more there to deal with.
“We are also extremely fortunate to have enthusiastic trappers in the Falls Road area who are taking on the challenge of getting more traps deployed there.”
If anyone would like to assist the group, they can contact Armitage on 021 322 890 or email info@pestfreewarkworth.org.nz
