Predator Free Port Hills - Trapping Possums over Winter

Join us for a Zoom workshop with Brent Barrett from Boffa Miskell on trapping possums. Over winter, possums head down into the valleys in search of food. Possums are opportunistic omnivores, eating leaves, buds, flowers, fruit/berries, nectar, eggs, chicks and invertebrates. They predate native fauna and also compete with them for food.

Brent will share his expertise on how to best attract and target possums in the backyard setting and provide an update on some innovative technology being trialled on the Port Hills.

This workshop is hosted by Predator Free Port Hills, an initiative of the Summit Road Society.

This Zoom workshop will be recorded for those participants unable to attend on the night.
