Monitoring & Pest Control Programme


We have a range of activities where we are looking
for local volunteers to become involved in our
'monitoring and pest control' programme in an on-going way.

These include monitoring of both native species and pest species,
and control of rodents and possums.

If you are interested in being involved please contact us at
info@oakleycreek.org.nz - or 09-815-3101
