Pests have a significant impact on both our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Find out how DOC and many organisations across the country work to protect our taonga:
-
Learn to recognise some of New Zealand's worst pests
-
Discover why their life-histories and habits make them a threat to our wildlife
-
Identify the types of traps used for different species
-
Observe trap operation
-
Think critically about control of introduced predators
We encourage students to consider how trapping may contribute to environmental goals for their school.
