Welcome to Predator Free Waitakere/Swanson

We are a community group from Waitakere and Swanson Towns areas.  We improve the Native bird life by removing pests. We catch Rats, Mustelidae and Possums. We can only do our work thanks to our amazing sponsors. Please support them when you can.

Since starting in August 2020, We currently have 292 traps and 59 Bait Stations. We have removed 2728 Predators from the area.

Predator Free 2050 aims to eradicate Mustelidae (Stoats, ferrets and weasels), rats and possums. Because, collectively, these animals inflict the worst damage of all the introduced pests on New Zealand’s plants and wildlife. As of an hour ago we have removed 12 Mustelidae, 1433 Rats and 366 Possums.

In the last 800 years New Zealand has lost 53 species of birds. With your help we can prevent any further species becoming extinct and help New Zealand’s plants and wildlife. Join us today and help make a difference.
