Brighton Trapping Project

Make trapping possums on your property a new year's resolution!

It's a great time to get in touch with us about our long-term trap loan programme.

If you have a lifestyle block/small farm in the greater Brighton area (check out the map for our project boundaries) - we can likely supply possum traps. We help you set them up and give you best practice trap training. In return you commit to doing weekly trap checks and recording your data.

Don't have much time but still want to get rid of predators from your land? We may be able to help by matching you up with a community volunteer to do the weekly trap checks for you.

🐧🐧 Little blue penguins are nesting along our rocky coast between Ocean View and Brighton! 🐧🐧

And the endemic variable oystercatchers currently have two chicks!

So we've installed a trap line against stoats, weasels and rats. We hope this helps make sure that the penguins can successfully raise their chicks, safe from predators.

Please don't interfere with the traps in any way. We've worked hard to get these traps here, and our trap checkers are all community volunteers who really care about protecting our native bird life.

Thank you 🌿❤️
