This video features a catchment project lead by the Awatuna/Auroa Catchment Community above us, that over the past couple years have been monitoring the water quality of the Punehu, Ouri, Oeo and Otakeho Streams.

Their monitoring has been at the top, the middle and down the bottom before going to the Moana. This project directly supports our understanding also with more work being done to help understand best actions from here.

Fantastic trapping Taranaki! A record high of more than 5300 trap checks and slightly more than 1000 pests caught in June.

Ōpunake was a big mover with 1084 trap checks and 302 pests caught, doubling their previous highs. That is due to diligent trapping from people in Ōpunake itself, but also farmers in the Pihama/Oeo Catchment Community and their pest free blitz.

Keep it up and remember to record your trap checks and catches on Trap.nz. If you need help with Trap.nz get in touch with us and we'll happily help you out.
