Aroha Kaikorai Valley is a community group focused on looking after the Kaikorai Stream and its surrounds. They run rubbish cleanups, planting days, a predator trapping network, and host monthly community meetings. Your role will enable people to host predator traps in their yards and be part of a movement bringing about massive change.
Your role will be office-based and involve:
- Coordinating flyer drops and using Google Maps to record areas that have been completed.

- Using TrapNZ to add new traps and host info.
- Sending information to trap hosts before and after their trap installation using email templates.
