Possum, rat & stoat management

Predators put real pressure on native birds, gardens, orchards and farms. We manage possums, rats and stoats on land and on the water, and we are part of the national effort to make New Zealand predator free.

On land and water

A dedicated vessel for predator work

We run a sign-written boat set up for possum, rat and stoat management, which lets us reach blocks and coastline that are hard to get to by road. On lifestyle blocks, farms and conservation projects, we target the predators that do the damage and report back on what we find.

Predator Free 2050

Part of a bigger goal for New Zealand

We work alongside Iwi and Government to help achieve the Department of Conservation's 50 year Predator Free goal. Every block we clear is a small part of giving native wildlife a better chance.

We do not use 1080. Talk to us about the right approach for your land.
