Healing a hill takes a village! BHMET needs all the help we can get:
- If you can afford it, please donate money. Our mahi consumes a lot of money to buy traps, lure, sensors, support our nursery, buy potting soil… it’s a very long list!
- If you have any spare time, please volunteer. We have volunteers supporting the trust:
- Demanding mahi – clearing traplines, maintaining traps. This demands a good level of fitness but is highly rewarding. You’ll be out on the hill on traplines that traverse some of the most spectacular parts of the hill.
- Moderately demanding mahi – we have regular planting days where volunteers head onto the hill to put native trees into the ground. The more volunteers, the better!
- Lighter volunteer support – work in our native plant nursery. We need volunteers to work in Te Korowai Whakahou, the trust’s native plant nursery. This is very satisfying work weeding and generally looking after the seedlings that will be planted on the hill.
- Please be a responsible pet owner. Please do all you can to prevent your cat from killing native birds. Please keep your dog on a leash.
Walking the hill! We love seeing people walking on the hill. Please let us know if you see anything that’s not right – trap damage, traps that need clearing, wildlife on the tracks, dogs off leash. When you’re reporting, please use the nearest trap number which you’ll find on these labels:
