Great article in the Whakatane Beacon last week highlighting the increasing wallaby problem and the work MET is doing to protect our bush from these invasive pests!
If you have been following the wallaby trial we conducted over the last few months of 2021 the results are in and we had much higher success with our feeding stations than with the bait station network throughout the bush, however this method was more labour intensive. Despite our best efforts some wallaby still remain, such as these two, so we will continue to target these throughout 2022.
Happy New Year! We are super excited to get stuck back into our Education Programme for 2022 with lots of schools already booked in for term 1.
Want to learn more about the work we do or meet our team? Come along to our AGM on Saturday 16th October!
