City Sanctuary, The Halo Project, and Otago Peninsula Biodiversity Group are working together to reduce the threat of possums, rats, stoats, and other pests across Dunedin to enable our native species to thrive. The Dunedin City Council works closely together with the three organisations to engage residents to protect native wildlife.

Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Checking traps in parks and reserves (takes about 1-2hrs, walking along marked line, clean and rebait devices, etc.), or
  • Get a trap and set them up in your backyard (equipment, training, ongoing support provided)

If you would like to join, please get in touch by applying below. DCC will then connect you to the right organisation operating in your area.

During this time your requests to connect will go through, however there may be some delay in you hearing from the organisations you select. Please be patient and if you have not heard back from them by mid January email them directly and give them a nudge. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season and summer.
