Enhanced Taskforce Green

Starting from the 27th of December, Mauri Oho will undergo a three month lockdown on the project to pursue a new contract called ‘Enhanced Taskforce Green’ (ETFG), provided by Work and Income.

Learning and Development – L4 Conservation

At the beginning of August 2022 to the end of March 2023, the Mauri Oho team had been working hard to gain each of their NZ L4 Conservation certificates. It was an uphill battle trying to find enough time to learn as well as maintain the trap lines up in the Ruahine ranges, however, the team persevered and got the mahi done.

Working alongside Mauri Oho

Trapper extraordinaire Peter Meredith has been volunteering for Forest & Bird (F&B) Central Hawkes Bay for several years, servicing a trapline of DOC 200s on the Makaroro River to Barlows Hut. The Makaroro River is home to several Whio, making it a crucial trapline to maintain to keep predator numbers low.

Earlier in the year, the Mauri Oho crew got the pleasure of joining Pete to service the F&B trapline picking up a few tips and tricks. Here is a heartfelt testimonial from Pete about his time working with Mauri Oho.
