Penrith Residents Group

Date: 17th October 2023

In September 2020, a group of Penrith residents set up a trapline from Penrith Beach, around the ponds and Lake Wānaka foreshore to the Penrith Road end. In April 2021, the line was extended to the pump station near the Outlet Campground.

The area around the ponds was cleared by local residents and a native replanting project was undertaken in collaboration with Te Kakano and QLDC. This work will help to create more habitats for many of the native species we are trying to protect. Our dedicated volunteers have a common goal, to eradicate predators and help our native species to thrive.
