Lake Sylvan Traps
2 October 2019
We continue to manage this line of 34 traps. Last month 33 of them were found with rats in them. This is the biggest haul since we took over the management of the traps.
Just wanted to congratulate you on your predator control work. So many small birds compared to this time 6 years ago!

I recently visited the area around Glenorchy and walked the Routeburn to the second hut. I saw and heard some lovely birds. Keep up this crucial work.
