Show Notes
NZ is renowned for its amazing landscape, unique wildlife & diverse ecosystems, but we have a huge issue with invasive species & habitat loss.
I enjoy our native birdlife in my area, so I signed up to be a volunteer with Forest & Bird to help reduce invasive species (hedgehogs, rats, possums) by baiting & trapping - fun anecdote to talk about my experience in handing over custody of a 'baiting line' from a man who has done it for over a decade!
What everyone can do to help: give wildlife space, clean your shoes, check your gear when entering/leaving sanctuaries, plant natives in your garden, volunteer or donate.
It’s conservation week 14th - 20th August so this is a great time for people to know these tips and get sorted/plan for action during that week.
