DSC_6655  Stoat (Mustela erminea) trapping for predators. Mike Camm coordinates a group of Northland landowners who all keep their properties 'predator free' through the use of Fenn Mk IV traps placed in wooden tunnels to catch stoats, ferrets, and weasels. Trapping benefits local ground nesting birds such as vulnerable brown teal, and Northland brown kiwi.
