Gift a predator trap donation

Gift a Predator Trap Donation

For a special occasion, or just to say you care!

Donate to protect our local biodiversity this year.

A predator trap deployed in the Ruahine Ranges is the perfect waste-free gift to help bring kiwi back to the area.

Rats, stoats, possums, wild cats and hedgehogs destroy bird life by attacking small chicks and eating eggs. When you donate a trap as a gift, your money will be put towards the installation of traps to kill these alien predators.

How your donation of a predator trap gift will work:

1. You make a donation and choose the type/s of traps you would like to sponsor.

2. Once we have confirmed that your donation is in the ENM bank account we will send out a gift certificate that lists the type of trap/s donated and explains the 'Gift of a Predator Trap' idea and how it works. This will be sent to you, or to the gift recipient/s directly (if you provide us with their email address).

3. Sometime in the 12 months following your donation, a trap will be set in, or in the vicinity of, the Ruahine Ranges. This cannot be done immediately as Manawatū River Source to Sea volunteers first need to organise the purchasing of the traps, and when this is done volunteers or paid workers need to install, set and check the traps.

4. When the trap is in position, you or the gift recipient/s (if email is provided) will be emailed a Global Positioning System (GPS) location and a website address where you can go online to check what has been caught in your trap for the next 5 years.

5. When a donation is made that will allow the installation of 10 or more DOC traps, you are invited to name the line (eg, you may like to call it "Smith Family Trap Line")

We are hoping to deploy up to 4000 traps in the Ruahine Range over the course of the project. Your contribution will help in significantly decreasing predator numbers and increasing bird life in the area.

$60 will allow us to install a Trapinator (for possum & wild cat control)

$175 will allow us to install a DOC Single Trap (for use on private land for stoat and rat control)
