Steve's Playstation

The trap area is over 4.5 hectares containing a creek on the boundary, wetland, hill sides and a wet gully. Three hectares has been cleared of pines and scrub and root raked. We are currently planting about 4500 natives this fall and will continue planting in the spring, following fall and the next spring. Currently have 25 DOC 150 traps which I have been using since November 2015 and have been pretty successful catching 51 rats, 3 mice, 13 stoats, 2 weasels, 9 hedgehogs, 15 possums and one cat in 6 months. As of October 2016 we have planted over 12,000 native trees and shrubs. We have now planted over 23,000 natives as of 2019.
