Into the Future - Update for 2025
Trapping for Restoration and Protection is Picton Dawn Chorus’ flagship donor campaign — a bold push to future-proof predator control across Waitohi–Picton. After nine years and more than 28,800 predators removed, our trap network is simply maxed out. With 3,900+ traps spread over rugged country, the system is overdue for an upgrade.
It’s time to lift our game and protect more birdlife than ever.
Our Goal
We’re fundraising to purchase 500 self-resetting AT220 auto traps. These devices need checking only twice a year and consistently outperform our older models.Since launching in December 2024, Project T.R.A.P. has already funded 170 traps, bringing our total AT220s to 211.
$640 funds one trap. This covers the unit, installation, and ongoing maintenance.
Smaller contributions still count — anything under $640 supports our wider conservation mahi and helps us with our goal of 'Restoring our birdlife together'.
