Predator Free School Guidelines
The Predator Free New Zealand Trust have kindly created this beginners guide to support schools
who want to get involved in predator control. By reducing predator numbers (e.g., rats) in or
around your school grounds you will be supporting your school’s native biodiversity (increasing
plant and animal life - the more native plants and animals the better).
Have a read through these guidelines to
surface water resources.

300 metres away, there was no biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters. Eleven ground
water bores/wells were regularly sampled over a 12 month period, to monitor for discharges
to groundwater at the site (particularly around the flare/blowdown pit), and for any effects on
shallow groundwater aquifers either from fracturing activities or spillages. An investigation of
air quality arising from flaring of fracturing fluids was carried out. This work has been
repeated separately.
