Wairau Bar Wetland Trapping

A wetland and beach-front protection project with an aim to protect wetland and coastal birds and reptiles, primarily targeting mustelids, hedgehogs, and wild cats. It is also a project to help train new DOC staff on trapping best practice and tecniques. The project has been started but more work is required to get traps into the interior of the area, and potentially widen the protected area.
