This year we have been learning about our local wetland areas. We visited the Waitangi Wetlands and planted trees and plants. We also spread mulch on the plants to protect them. When we were there, we noticed that there were very few animal species around the place.
If we were to win the D.O.C Habitat Heroes competition, we would;
Get rid of the introduced species who eat our native species.
Buy traps to catch the rats and stoats.
We would aim to place the traps on trees and create nesting places for birds.
We could also get a bunch of people each year together to clean up an area in our wetlands, starting from the day we start.
All the very best in your quest Lachie. If you share the work load it will be possible to achieve your goals.
