Whitford Bait & Trap day
Bait and Trap Day, Sunday 10th November, 10am – 12pm, Whitford Tennis Pavilion
Kia ora trappers!
We are back in Whitford on Sunday 10th November, from 10am – 12pm, with a bait and trap day. We’ll be onsite to help you with materials and advice to get you started on your predator control journey.
Predator Free Whitford love nothing more than to help you start your journey in making New Zealand pest free so our native birds can survive and thrive. We can only do this with your help, by working together.
Our funding is thanks to a number of sources which a small group of people apply for with incredible dedication annually. We are competing with other groups in New Zealand for these funds, who all carry out incredible mahi. The demand from the community has become such that we are unable to keep up.
We have come to the conclusion that we can only make all this happen with your help in paying it forward and giving a donation. This will help fund the shortfall as demand continues to increase.
As an indication of the cost of pest control materials…
- 10kg Pestoff costs $56.95
- A white Philproof bait station costs $14.25
- A black Pied Piper bait station costs $17.78
- A Flipping Timmy possum trap costs $58.32
And these prices are WITHOUT GST!
To help us keep moving forward, we are now asking for donations. As an indication, 50% of the cost of goods received will contribute greatly to furthering our efforts. Donations can be made to:
Te Ara Hikoi Trust
12-3023-0111364-00
For donations over $5, email accounts@tearahikoi.nz and we can supply a tax invoice. We are also open to accepting cash donations on the day.
Donations will be used entirely in the purchase of further pest control materials to aid those less able to afford their own. By supplying pest control materials our aim is to reduce the barriers between landowners and effective, consistent pest control – cost being one of them.
We also welcome any returned materials, or donations of new or second-hand predator control materials. If you took too much bait, or don’t feel confident setting a trap that you took home, we would love to see it back no questions asked. These resources are best used in the community rather than collecting cobwebs in a shed.
Finally, we’d like to thank you all for your ongoing support of the mahi we do. It’s what keeps the ball rolling forward.
