About Predator Free Waitakere/Swanson

Protecting Our Native Birds from Predators

Predator Free Waitakere Swanson is a grassroots conservation group working to restore native birdlife by removing invasive predators. Since 2020 we have helped locals trap thousands of rats, possums and mustelids. These species threaten our forests, birds and ecosystems.

We provide subsidised traps, expert advice and a community platform where every catch counts. Whether you are a seasoned trapper or just starting out, we help you make a real difference. Together we are building a safer future for tui, kereru and all the native species that call this place home.
