Heads up for Twin Rivers Trail users – a rabbit control operation will be underway from Thursday 24 August.

Bait (pindone poison) will be dropped via a helicopter a week apart for a period of three weeks. We ask that you please keep your dogs on a leash when walking through this area. Signage will be in place and will be removed when there is no risk to the public or dogs (up to three months).

Please refer to the map below to understand the area affected.

FYI - dog n cat lovers.

Rabbit control operation underway
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) has employed the services of a professional contractor to
carry out rabbit control on Widgeon Place Reserve in Lake Hayes Estate from Monday 7 August 2023.
There will be 3 bait drops scheduled a week apart to complete this work which will be weather
dependant.
This operation aims to reduce rabbit numbers to decrease the environmental effect on native
vegetation and biodiversity in compliance with Otago Regional Council’s Pest Management Plan.
Carrot baits covered in a Pindone paste will be present on the ground in this area while signage is in
place. Bait will be at least one metre from any track. The contractor carrying out this operation will
be working on a motorbike.
Public walking tracks through the reserve may be closed temporarily if work is undertaken nearby.
Signage and personnel will be in place to ensure safe operations. If members of the public are asked
to wait by the contractor, they must do so.
This pesticide is poisonous to humans and domestic animals. As a precaution always remember:
• DO NOT touch the bait
• WATCH CHILDREN at all times
• DO NOT EAT animals from these areas or within 2km of it
• DO NOT allow DOGS access to animal carcasses or bait
• Keep dogs on leash and under control at all times
Signage will be removed when there is no risk to the public or dogs (up to three months).

Need to look after these guys!

The bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey. For us it is only a teaspoon of honey, but for the bee it is a life. Thank you, bees!
