• Rat Monitoring

  "To get the pest numbers down to this level has required a load of hard work..."

  

  

  Monitoring

  An independent audit on our pest densities inside the pest controlled area are carried out each year.

  A computer has randomly picked lines inside the pest control area which have been set up with rat and possum monitoring gear.

  To have a healthy forest, possums and rats need to be at 5% residual trap catch (RTC) or lower. We got 2% RTC for possums and 10% for rats in 2015.

  To get the pest numbers down to this level has required a load of hard work from the volunteers and donors. Thanks heaps!

  Monitoring

  In 2011, before we started doing pest control there was virtually no morning bird song known as a "dawn chorus". You can hear for yourself the depth of bird calls from where we are trapping.

Canopy Monitoring

We take yearly photos at points around the pest control area to show recovery.
