Main aim: Pest free Whanganui by 2040

We are committed to monitoring and removing invasive pests such as rats, stoats, and possums, which threaten our native birds and trees.

Our mission is to safeguard our unique native species and restore a flourishing natural environment, all while enhancing the well-being of our Whanganui community.

By working together, we can make a lasting, positive impact on our ecosystem!

We have teamed up with The Pest Free Token Charitable Trust to supply you with quality traps. Each wooden trap is hand-made by the Trustees of the charity, and the Flipping Timmys are sourced locally too. It’s good to know that our work is helping to support their pest eradication efforts. Together we can work together to save our native species nationwide.

The Pest Free Token project also provides the catch reward element of our trapping business. Each time you catch a pest, simply scan the top of the trap box and you will be paid for your catch with free Pest Free Tokens (a cryptocurrency). This is an innovative way to incentivise and gamify trapping. Your Pest Free Tokens can be sold for $NZD or exchanged for products from over 300+ companies nationwide.
