Rat monitoring Sat March 6th and Sun March 7th
WE NEED YOU!
This is an important monitoring when rats are at their height and in the context of lesser poisoning in L and P blocks.
We need a relatively dry Sat night but the lines are easier than rat baiting lines and it is possible to do a couple of short ones and still be back by midday.
We welcome members of the Catholic Tramping Club who will join with some of us to do the lines
Please let me know if you can come on one or both days and if you have any rat monitor line preference
