We have volunteers actively managing traps across various sites in the Taupo region. The number of sites, traps, volunteer hours and ultimately pests trapped is established and growing. But we still need your help. Head over to ‘our projects’ to find out about each site, there’s likely one near you, and then contact robyn@greeningtaupo.org.nz to get stuck in and help us on this mission.
