Enviro 14/6: Ducks

Today for Enviro Kauri and Manuka trudged through the mud to check on the ducks. They are looking healthy but we haven’t seen any eggs yet. Our focus today was to look at their environment and how to make it safe and protected. We are starting to enquire into how to protect them from pests such as; rats, mustelids, dogs and cats, possums, pukeko and eels. If we have any experts in our community we would love to hear from you.
