Wairau Estuary Rat Baiting Team - Our Milford rat baiting team would love to have a few more volunteers. Spend about an hour a month, checking and refilling rat bait stations around our estuary to keep Milford's rat population down and our native bird population high. Bait stations only. No bodies to deal with! We are very grateful to two of our wonderful volunteers, Murray Baker and Vince West, who have done this work for around a decade. Now retirement and time away from Milford mean we need volunteers to fill in for them. Email Norma to find out what this involves: chairs@milford.org.nz
Would you like to set a bait station at your place? We have a few available. Email Norma: chairs@milford.org.nz
