Operations Summary
What have the rangers been up to?
We added the finishing touches on track maintenance as we prepared to have a fully functioning toxin operation. We have now achieved this for the first time since the cyclone. We have also been busy with our standard trapping and Ōi/grey faced petrel nest monitoring/protection. We are encountering the same issues as the previous season with relentless stoats causing problems for the breeding season.
