Celebrating Two Years

Predator Free Tamahere has reached a significant milestone – our second anniversary! It's been quite the journey, and as we take a moment to look back, we're pleased to share the progress we've made in our mission to rid Tamahere of possums, rats and mustelids.

Over the past two years, the dedication of our volunteers and supporters has led to the removal of 4500 pests from our gullies and surrounding areas. This achievement speaks volumes about the hard work, commitment, and passion of everyone involved.
