Talk to a Predator Free Ranger

Introduction

Get support to help you or your community establish a predator control program.

Our team of rangers can connect you with a local district DOC ranger, or help with advice on tools, best practice and safety information. They can also connect you with other groups in the region through the Predator Free New Zealand Trust.
