Join Our Predator-Free Volunteer Team in Cambridge!
We're looking for dedicated volunteers to help maintain trap lines in Cambridge, including Soldiers Track in Leamington (between the two bridges) and around Leamington Reserve-Cemetery, around the Te Koo Utu Lake among other areas. This role is perfect for those who enjoy regular walks and live nearby.

  • Make a Difference: If you're passionate about protecting native wildlife, including birds, bats, lizards, and insects, this is a fantastic way to contribute to the cause.
  • Flexible Roster: Volunteers are scheduled every 3-4 weeks. During your assigned week, you'll rebait traps with non-toxic bait (such as peanut butter), remove any predator remains, and reset the traps at least once. Each session takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  • No Experience Needed: We’ll provide all the necessary supplies and full training, including non-toxic bait.
  • Smartphone Required: Volunteers will use the Trap.NZ app to locate traps and log catches. A moderate fitness level is recommended.

Interested? - If you'd like to learn more or get involved, please reach out!

Requirements:
  • Comfortable walking along tracks and navigating trap lines
  • Able to access and maintain predator traps
Time commitment:
  • Around 1.5 hours every 2-3 weeks, on a rotating schedule.

Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
