Pukawa Trap Building 2024

Let's bring back the native birds and help them thrive in your backyard. Join Predator Free Taupo for a fun hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to build a rat trap tunnel.

Everyone is invited to come along to the Pukawa Reserve for a fun hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to build a rat trap tunnel.
