Predator Free: 2050

In TKA we are currently learning about our environment and looking at the birds, invertebrates and trees. We were lucky enough to have a lady from DoC come and talk to the children about pests in New Zealand. We learnt that DoC are trying to be Predator Free by 2050. The current three predators that they are focussing on at the moment are rats, stoats and possums. The children had the opportunity to look at tracking, pests, how they know if there are predators in the area and how they catch predators. It is important that we are all part of this focus to help our native animals such as the kakapo, kiwi and whero duck.
