Make your gully, garden & local wildlife safer
Our long-term goal is to hear bellbirds in Tamahere again.
Predator Free Tamahere helps landowners and residents reduce rats, mice, possums and mustelids across gardens, gullies, reserves, lifestyle blocks and river-edge habitat.
Whether you’re already trapping, just getting started, or not sure what would help most, we can help you take the next practical step.
Together, we’re making Tamahere safer for native birds, bats and other wildlife.
