Warrington Spit

Work planned at Warrington Spit

We are excited to announce that we are beginning our predator control work in a new part of the expansion area, from Warrington to the Waikouaiti River.

Gathering baseline information on possum abundance across the 6,240 hectare area is the first priority, with work already underway for this. Thanks so far for the support from the local community, we’re stoked to be working with you all.

Working alongside community we have exciting plans for Warrington Spit, an amazing 65.4 hectare reserve:

To better understand what is there and to measure the results of predator control in the area we will begin with predator monitoring, installing chew cards and tracking tunnels in advance of undertaking predator control.

We are targeting possums and mustelids (stoats, weasels and ferrets) primarily, and expect to remove rats and hedgehogs with these devices also.

In the coming weeks we will be reaching out to those who attended our community meetings earlier in 2023.

We are looking for volunteers to assist us firstly in Warrington where we will begin work immediately.
