Established in September 2023 in a joint venture between WBT and Disc Golf Wānaka, this trapping project is located near the confluence of two rivers – the Cardrona and the Clutha/Mata-au. Twenty traps target mustelids, hedgehogs and rats. The traps are situated around the disc golf course, allowing players to check traps while they play a game of disc golf. Thanks to the efforts of local disc golfers, we hope to be able to decrease predator numbers in this area. Birds known to breed here include kingfisher/kōtare, falcon/kārearea, grey warblers/riroriro, shining cuckoo/pīpīwharauroa and brown creepers/pīpipi.
