Trapping

To help protect the many bird and other animal species that spend time at Hawksbury Lagoon / Matainaka we have placed predator traps around the lagoon. The traps, which are regularly checked, humanely kill introduced predators such as stoats, ferrets, weasels and rats. Without these traps many native animals would be killed and eaten every day. A map showing the location of the traps is shown below. If you would like more information or see a damaged trap please contact us.
