We have caught 80 stoats!
Great news! The eradication team is excited to have taken 80 stoats out of the Waiheke environment as we head into winter. Over the summer period, it is likely that many of this season's juvenile stoats were caught. However, it is important to keep the traps open over winter to minimise the potential breeding numbers in the spring. A massive thank you to all involved, we are thrilled with this result!
On Monday, 12th of April we also completed 40,000 trap checks. That’s 10,000 more since our 30,000 trap check milestone in January this year. Well done to the incredible and dedicated stoat eradication team!
