• Taranaki schools

Our young people are among the biggest champions of the predator free vision. Schools and students are leading residents’ efforts to restore native wildlife and plants, for the next generation. Taranaki schools are ambassadors of Towards Predator-Free Taranaki, many distributing traps to households to raise funds for environmental school projects. Students are helping expand urban trapping by checking traps in public parks and reserves. They are making trap boxes and helping monitor biodiversity and predators. How can schools get involved?Towards Predator-Free Taranaki provides an opportunity for your school to make a real difference safeguarding our precious native species in your community. Here are some of the activities we can provide: Presentation covering why our native species are so special, how introduced predators have devastated them, and what can be done to restore and protect our taonga species. Materials for a trap building session. Completed traps can be installed around your school or sold in the form of a trap pack as a fundraiser. Help, advice and materials for student trapping group to install and check traps around school or local reserve. Monitoring predators with tracking tunnels and wax tags, or conducting bird counts. Teach students how to use trap.nz to record all trap checks and catches.
