New Brighton is a beautiful beachside suburb with stunning dunes, wetlands, and the second-largest public green space in Ōtautahi.
PFNB's mahi aims to transform these natural spaces into sanctuaries for Aotearoa’s native species, ensuring they thrive for generations to come.
Our Mission:
Predator Free New Brighton / Coastal Kaitiaki, is dedicated to reducing the number of invasive pests that threaten our local wildlife. By implementing effective pest control measures, we aim to boost the populations of our native species. This effort will also help reduce predator pressure in surrounding areas like the estuary, wetlands, and Rawhiti Domain, creating a healthier ecosystem across our coastal peninsula.
Get Involved:
We believe in the power of community. Our goal is to have pest control traps in the backyards of 20% of the approximately 6,500 households in our area.
- Connect with our initiative to learn about pest control and native ecosystem preservation.
- Become a kaitiaki, contact us to get your own backyard trap and be connected to the national vision on the Trap NZ ap.
- Spread the Word, share our mission with friends and neighbours to encourage community-wide participation.
- Donate, your donation will contribute to material costs and equipment needed to build and maintain traps.
Your support can help us achieve significant reductions in invasive species populations, enhance protections for native wildlife, and foster a strong culture of environmental stewardship in New Brighton.
