Pomona Island Trap Checking

2021-05-02

Thanks to the kindness of the Pomona Island Charitable Trust I spent yesterday on Pomona Island checking and re-baiting DOC200 traps with John, Fay, Paul, Linley, Liz, Isla and Fraser.

We caught 8 rats and unfortunately a stoat was capured by one of the trail cams, so there is still a lot of work to do recovering from the recent mast year.

Pomona Island is a fabulous place, the vegetation is not degraded by browsing deer, and it hosts a reserve population of the Haast Tokoeka.

They are a kind, active, motivated and extremely well organised group of people.

You can donate to the Pomona Island Charitable Trust here.

Thanks for a great day, good company and a slice or two of delicious carrot cake.
