Want to help native birds thrive in your backyard?
Predator Free Taupo invites you along to a trap building workshop on the lawn of the Motuoapa Bay Holiday Park. A fun hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to build a rat trap tunnel. The workshop will include materials, a rat trap and help to build a trap box plus instructions on setting your trap safely. The trap and the box you make will be yours to take home (for a koha) and start your little part in heading towards a predator-free NZ, in your own backyard.
