We are blessed in Mt Albert to have a tree-lined neighbourhood and our beautiful maunga which provides such a great habitat for ourselves as well as our native wildlife. However, our wildlife is under pressure from introduced species.
The goal is to rid Ōwairaka from the most damaging pest animals and plants mid-term, and the current focus is on rats. A group of volunteers started controlling rats on the top of Ōwairaka / Mt Albert jointly with the Tūpuna Maunga Authority. Order a subsidised rat trap online at:
