Smart trapping a new story for tour operators in rural Waitomo
In the Mangaotaki Valley, Suzie and Warrick Denize raise livestock and operate tours in a landscape dominated by massive limestone cliffs made famous by the Hobbit trilogy. Spanning 1.5km long and 90m high, the rock formations overlook the native bush below where, thanks to the couple’s trapping effort, native species are making a comeback while their 30 traps have recorded over 200 kills to date.
We chat with the busy couple to learn more about the impact of pest control on their business and how our A24 Trap kit with Chirp has helped their trapping.
