Herbert Forest Working Bee

A poor forecast for 10 June left expectations low for a good turnout for this working bee, but it turned out that 16 people came including 5 from the various highschools. The mission for the day was a good snip along the tracks and rebaiting the traps and topping up the bait stations. With so many to do the work this task was accomplished comfortably by 2pm just as the rain set in. The kill for the traps was 1 ferret, 4 stoats,11 rats and 1 hedgehog. The bait for this kill was eggs donated by Mainland and rebaiting was done with chicken necks and peanut butter for the sentinels. A great effort and a big thank you to those who came and a special thanks to the high school students.
