New Baiting of Gleesons Block
We will be rebaiting (2 bags) in the new Gleesons block between Gleesons track and the Dam Rd. The block has had its first baiting and we anticipate that the stations which are 100m apart, will be empty. The lines have been properly cleared and all cotton removed.
The exciting thing for us is that our 6 kokako are alive and well and hanging out further south in the new block. Thus the Gleesons block is an important buffer against rats coming in from the Scenic Dr
These lines are mostly long and will need a reasonably good level of fitness- in via Gleesons and out to your car on the Dam Rd.
Please let me know if you can come
