Kaipatiki Pest Control – monitoring for invasive animal pests

A first step towards protecting wildlife from introduced animal pests, is to gather a baseline of what is presently there and where. Should future predator control be put in place, it’s important to have a stake in the ground as to what pest levels were like before starting work. It’s a tool to help in the journey towards restoring the mauri and mana of te taiao.

After discussions with Dr Pouroto Ngaropō and Mereana Hona a plan is developing to monitor Hāto Petera grounds, completed in some form alongside the wider Hāto Petera whanau in 2024.  Watch for an invitation to be part of this initiative in the coming weeks.   More information can be found here.

Last week members of the Hāto Petera Interim Governance Group met for their first hui of 2024.  Following the hui they gathered with Bishop Steve Lowe and members of the Hāto Petera Interim Governance Group for an informal BBQ at Pompallier Diocesan Centre.
