Make your gully, garden & local wildlife safer
Predator Free Tamahere is a community-led project helping residents reduce rats, mice, possums and mustelids to protect native birds, bats, gardens, gullies and streams.
Together, we're making Tamahere safer for wildlife.
Choose your next step
Whether you’re already trapping, just getting started, or keen to support local wildlife, there’s a simple way to get involved.
-
Please let us know where predator control is already happening — especially if you have a gully, river edge or bush block. This helps us understand local trapping coverage and support the biodiversity areas that matter most. Tell us you’re trapping
-
Start simple with practical trapping options for gardens, sheds, fruit trees, lifestyle blocks and larger properties. We can help you choose traps that suit your place. Start trapping
-
Share your trapping stats, offer local knowledge, come along to events, volunteer, sponsor traps or donate. You can also help by spreading the word. Every contribution strengthens predator control across Tamahere. Get involved
Community Impact
13,536 pests removed
581 registered traps
Volunteer community-led since 2022
These numbers reflect the traps and catches logged with our Trap.NZ project. Many Tamahere residents are also trapping privately, and that effort matters too.
Our live Trap.NZ project map shows recorded traps and catches across Tamahere. It doesn’t yet show everyone who is trapping — so we’d love local trappers to tell us what’s happening on their property.
