Connecting People and Parks - Predator Control training
Glendowie, February 23rd
Predator Control Training - Auckland Council and Conservation Volunteers New Zealand
Bring Back the Birds to our Auckland Parks!
Be an environmental champion - help us on this exciting project to save Auckland‘s native wildlife!
Animal pests (rodents and possums) compete with native birds for food and raid their nests for chicks and eggs. They also feed on a wide range of native plants, lizards and invertebrates. Your parks need your help to prevent this destruction
If you are interested in taking part, come along to one of our two training sessions.
When training is completed you’ll be assigned to one of the parks in which this programme operates where you’ll bait and reset traps and record the catches you make. You can choose when you walk your own track, so you can do it at a time that suits you. Ideally you will live or work locally to the pest control area. Once you’ve finished your line check, you enter your results into a web based database called Catch IT.
What to Wear: Sturdy boots or shoes, Long pants, long-sleeved shirt.
Bookings are essential. If you would like to register please call 0800 56 76 86 or email info@cvnz.co.nz

Tamaki Estuary Clean Ups
Tamaki, Mar 23rd and 1 other date
Conservation Volunteers in partnership with Tamaki Estuary Environmental Forum, Foundation North and Auckland Council are running a series of sea and land based community clean up events to assist with improving the health of the Tamaki Estuary.
Litter, particularly plastic, has a major impact on wildlife with birds and fish becoming entangled or mistaking the litter for food, eating the plastic and feeding it to their young. As the plastic breaks into small fragments in the water it leaches potentially toxic chemicals into our rivers and seas, threatening our ocean wildlife and us.
By coming out to one of our clean up days you will be making a difference to the amount of rubbish that enters this toxic cycle and creating awareness about steps that we can take to prevent further degradation by recycling and encouraging others to do so too.
Come and help on one or more of these projects and be a part of transforming your local river. We'd love to have your help.
Bookings are essential. Phone 0800 56 76 86 or email info@cvnz.org.nz
