Predator Free Port Hills

Predator Free Port Hills is an initiative of the Summit Road Society. Launched in 2016, this programme supports backyard and community trapping across the Port Hills. Our vision is to protect native species and to see their populations flourish in our lifetimes. Ultimately, we want the Port Hills and surrounding areas to become predator free with thriving native wildlife in our neighbourhoods, local parks and reserves, farmland and bush areas. We are working with the Christchurch Coastal Pathway Group on how we can incorporate predator control into the design of the pathway in order to protect the native biodiversity living alongside the route.
