Wanaka Backyard Trapping

Wanaka Backyard Trapping supports and coordinates initiatives to control pests which threaten native wildlife on QLDC, DOC and LINZ reserves. They encourage private landowners to carry out trapping at a neighbourhood level, as well as engage volunteers to maintain traplines on public land. We run a trap library for Wanaka residents. They also help educate the local community through newsletters, a public talk series and workshops. They are entirely volunteer run.
