Everyone is invited to come along to the Kinloch Community Hall for a fun hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to build a rat trap tunnel.

But most importantly, getting rid of rats makes your garden a safe place for our unique native wildlife to live and feed.

Check, Clean, Dry to stop the spread

Getting outdoors is a fantastic way to explore New Zealand, but it’s important to check, clean, and dry your gear to protect our natural environment. Check your boots, clothing, gear and equipment for weeds, seeds and pests, and clean thoroughly after each trip to prevent the spread of invasive species.
