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.
