- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 05 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sun, 05 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: On Sunday 5 July, 5pm, please join us for a night of sharing experiences and knowledge at the Pepper Tree Restaurant. We've been fascinated with the multi species, self-resetting traps since their first early prototypes 8+ years ago. Our operations manager Paul Johnson will share how we started to build a new possum control network, our learnings, and our hopes for the recovery of possum damaged coastal forests.

In 2023 Moehau Environment Group switched to using AT220 automatic self-resetting traps from NZAutoTraps for possum control. This is the story of the dramatic change we found after installing a network of 190 traps in a fenceless sanctuary in Tangiaro/Port Charles (MEGa Pest Attack). The results were so encouraging, we set up a new project protecting the damaged pōhutukawa coastal forests around Waikawau. Now 160 traps are placed along these coasts, and we have three years of data and camera monitoring to show how effective they have been at sustained possum control. We are linking with other community groups like Habitat Tuateawa and local landowners to extend this trapping project. Come see what we have been doing to protect Coromandel pōhutukawa, coastal forests and wildlife!

If you've got experience to share or just want to know more about this project, please come along and enjoy a relaxed evening at the Pepper Tree Restaurant
