Lions Predator Free – Palmerston North

Lions Predator Free is an initiative of the Lions Club of Middle Districts, based in Palmerston North and supported by the Predator Free NZ Trust. We also operate Lions Mini Golf in the Esplanade and run the national Lions Christmas Cake project every year.

We want Palmerston North to eventually be predator free, so we can all enjoy the increase in native birds that follows. Ridding the city of rats won't happen overnight, and as a voluntary, self-funded organisation of about 50 members, we need more help.

We started in Hokowhitu and are now taking the project further afield, with traps in the Hokowhitu area, at Manawatū Golf Club and along the walkway from the bridge around to the bottom of Albert Street.

We supply the traps free. They're easy to manage and safe for birds, pets and children. All you need to do is check the trap, keep it baited and tell us when you catch something. You'll also receive a regular newsletter with tips and tricks on baiting and placement.
