For too long, our local taonga\u2014the t\u016b\u012b, kerer\u016b, and korimako\u2014have been under silent siege. Introduced predators like rats, stoats, and possums don\u2019t just take our birds; they dismantle the intricate web of our native ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve seen our recent Facebook videos, you\u2019ve witnessed the &#8220;invisible&#8221; life of our reserves. Our high-tech AI thermal cameras are now capturing the movements of these predators in the dead of night, while our acoustic monitors record the increasing frequency of native birdsong. We aren&#8217;t just guessing anymore; we are using data to drive a restoration revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the heart of the Scenic Reserve to the backyards of Highfield, we are creating an &#8220;urban halo&#8221; of safety. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned trapper logging kills on Trap.nz or a curious neighbor attending your first workshop at the Eco Centre, you are the frontline of conservation. Join us in turning Timaru into a sanctuary where nature doesn\u2019t just survive\u2014it thrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Predator Free Timaru is a group of passionate locals on a missionto bring back the birds to Timaru by predator control in local backyards and green spaces, and is one of may groups nationwide working towards the Predator Free 2050 vision&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the digital home of Predator Free Timaru\u2014a community-led mission to reclaim the dawn chorus for our city and local surrounds.
