Community Trap Line
Conservation starts in our backyards.
Possum and rat traps are now available to the community for protecting native wildlife
from predators.
Bay Bush Action's community trap line operates from Watea to Whangae and has
locals helping out our native animals by trapping pests in their own backyards.
Email baybushaction@gmail.com to get
traps for your place.
Volunteer
Volunteering can be a great way to meet people, get into the bush or get fit.
We need volunteers for lots of things, including building trap boxes, cutting traplines, carrying traps in to
the bush, clearing and setting lines, administration, cooking for events and volunteer coordination.
Sponsor a Trap
100% of donor's money is spent on eradicating introduced pests, such as possums, stoats, rats and feral cats.
Administration costs are covered by our volunteers.
-
DOC 200 Single - Stoats
A strong and durable kill trap for stoats.
With your help kiwi can be protected from stoats for just a one-time donation. It’s not just a lifeline, but a lifetime of protection.
We carry them in, bait and set them and you will be emailed the results.
-
Trapinator - Possums
A safe trap which targets possums.
You can protect canopy trees from possums and give kukupa a better chance of raising their young.
We carry them in, bait and set them and you will be emailed the results.
-
Snap-E - Rats
An awesome trap for catching rats.
Our forests rely on good populations of birds to disperse seeds and fruit. Rats consume a lot of food that should be for our native birds. Protecting
birds' food sources means they'll nest in our back yards more often.
We carry them in, bait and set them and you will be emailed the results.
-
SA Trap - Feral Cats
The SA trap has passed NAWAC humane tests.
New Zealand has lots of ground nesting birds that are vulnerable to cats. Cats have the
most diverse diet of all predators in our forests including gecko, skink, weta, birds, frogs and
are thought to be responsible for killing up to 30% of kiwi chicks in the wild.

Make a Donation
Every year we have to buy hundreds of traps. Any donation will help.
It all goes to protection for our wildlife, not administration. Remember we are all about action!

Automatic Payment
A regular payment, say the price of a cup of coffee a week is a great
way to support our work.

your bank's internet banking website.
