Bait Station Days

Dates are set - come be part of it.

Over the past five years, we’ve built a network of bait stations across Karioi to protect our forest birds - and it’s working. Rat and possum numbers in some areas are now below 5%, and each year we’re expanding that protection across the maunga.

Now we need your help to keep it going.

Our bait station days run from June to February. Come on your own or bring a mate - no experience needed, full training provided. Expect a great crew, some enjoyable hours “forest bathing” and a well-earned morning tea.

“It’s a great feeling being part of something that’s making a real difference,” says one regular volunteer.

Check out the dates, lock one in, and bring a friend.

Be part of the solution.
