Community conservation in action. Help us save Coromandel kiwi

We've been fundraising for our beloved, untrusty t We've been fundraising for our beloved, untrusty trusty steed. We need a new vehicle to get all the jobs done... from delivering traps, plants, eggs (for bait), and helping at community events, for when there are tracks to cut and rat lines to service. We need something reliable on these rough roads in northern Coromandel. Thank you so much to Diprose Miller Community Fund for getting us started with a generous grant. If you can help us out with donations big or small we'd love you to get in touch, check out our website or follow the link in the comments.
Thank you Team!!

Waiting for rain 🌧️. This earthstar fungi was enco Waiting for rain 🌧️. This earthstar fungi was encountered on a trapping trail last week. When they first appear they resemble a small egg, then their outer layer splits open and folds back like a star. The spherical spore-containing structure sits in the centre of the star. When raindrops hit, spores are released through a hole in its top.
Good weather for earthstars today! ✨
We're running a fundraising raffle again this year We're running a fundraising raffle again this year. Be in to win an NZ AutoTraps AT220 to help control possums, rats, mice and sometimes even stoats on your property. FYI We're noticing a big increase in miromiro/tomtits this year after installing networks of these, and we're putting that down to the sustained control of possums in our MEGa Pest Attack.

Comment below if you would like some raffle tickets and I'll message you back with the info.
$5 each or 5 tickets for $20. A prize worth $620 
Great opportunity!
Thanks so much to @nzautotraps  for the prize
Must be able to collect from Coromandel, thanks!

Now some details! Our kaupapa is to enhance native Now some details! Our kaupapa is to enhance native biodiversity by engaging the community and doing the boots-on-the-ground conservation work. 

Today our conservation projects include:
🦉450 ha of intensive pest control over an unfenced sanctuary in regenerating forest (MEGa Pest Attack)
🦉A mustelid trapping network over 16 000 ha for kiwi protection
🦉Extensive possum trapping in vulnerable coastal pohūtukawa forests
🦉Waikawau wetland pest control and monitoring of rare wetland birds
🦉Planting and weed control programmes with the community and schools in partnership with other groups like Hillary Outdoors, Colville school and Driving Creek.
🦉Coromandel Backyard Trapping collaboration with Predator Free NZ and Driving Creek

We are just one of many groups active in northern Hauraki/Coromandel who are all needed to make a difference for wildlife. We work alongside Driving Creek on projects like the invasive ginger weeding, and our trapping overlaps or connects to the work of many other community predator control groups, several iwi, landowners, and agencies who all want the biodiversity of northern Hauraki/Coromandel to thrive. 

Plenty of options to get involved if you are keen!
And once again, a massive thank you to our funders, members, supporters, volunteers, field team, landowners and partners
