Programme
Predator control
A purpose of the trust, with no programme behind it yet.
IntendedContinuous, once it exists
Where we are now
Not established by this project. Trapping does happen around Ōamaru — the tūī and korimako coming back into the town are credited to locals trapping and planting pockets of bush — but who traps on the Cape itself, where, and with what is not yet known.
What it becomes
Enough control that the birds a restored headland could hold can breed on it.
Why it is in the plan
Planting without predator control grows habitat that does not get used.
What needs to happen
1 of 4- Named in the trust deed as a purpose
- Find out who is trapping on the Cape, and where
- Agree how this project supports that work rather than duplicating it
- Map the trap network
