Fifth Stoat Catch Milestone!

Te Korowai o Waiheke have reached another milestone! As of this week, the eradication team are thrilled to have caught 61 stoats.

The most recent stoat catch followed a stoat sighting reported by a member of the public, and after freshening up traps in the area it was caught 4 days later. If you see a stoat, it is helpful if you report it straight away, so the eradication team has the best chance to respond.

Thanks for all the ongoing stoat sightings — we still want to know about every single one! We have also caught 647 rats and mice since opening up over 1,500 traps this time last year.
