Last month, Year 5 and 6 students from Red Beach School got involved with Forest & Bird’s Pest Free Hibiscus Coast Project by making trap boxes to take home and use in their backyards.
Following a lesson by project manager Jenny Hanwell about the birdlife of the Coast, and the rats, stoats and possums that threaten it, 180 students made trap boxes with new Red Beach hub activator Mark Whittington.
Volunteers Derek Kelsey, Julian Fripp, and Vern Rule helped the students get the hang of nailing the boxes together.
“Building rat traps was fun. Let’s catch some rats!”, the Room 30 students said.
We are looking for as many people as possible to get involved in backyard trapping Info and traps: forestandbird.org.nz/projects/pest-free-hibiscus-coast
