Our next workday is Saturday 14th of September. Meet at the corner of Pukehangi and Rotoehu Roads at 9am. We will then proceed into the forest where tasks will be assigned before setting off to fill bait stations with 500g of Ratabate. This bait is placed into the bait station in a biodegradable plastic bag which is secured by the baseplate of the bait station, therefore volunteers shoudn’t need to touch any baits.

If you are able to attend the workday on Saturday 14th September, let us know so we can plan accordingly.
