Imagine a friendly town bordering 140,000 hectares of forest parks, 40km from Pūkaha, Aotearoa’s premier wildlife centre. Imagine people working together so that the parks, reserves, streets, schools, businesses and backyards become welcoming sanctuaries for our native birds, lizards and insects.
Welcome to Predator Free Masterton.
Predator Free Masterton is part of the Predator Free 2050 project happening all over Aotearoa. The Predator Free 2050 mission is focused on the complete removal of five predators: rats, stoats, ferrets, weasels and possums. Other introduced predators such as hedgehogs and feral cats also have an impact on our native flora and fauna. Becoming predator free will protect our precious native species, improve our biodiversity, create greater ecological resilience and restore our unique ecosystems.
For groups, whānau and individuals that want to get free traps and get started!
