Wide Scale Predator Control: The Hawke’s Bay Project Al Glen & Wendy Ruscoe Landcare Research Hawkes Bay Regional Council Department of Conservation EcoEd Volunteer / Iwi groups Robertson Foundation

Objectives Identify critical habitat / regionally important sites Prioritise native species that will benefit from predator control Assess predator control options with deliverable outcomes Develop a Project Strategy Support the local community to set and achieve biodiversity protection goals

Regionally important site: Maungaharuru Area Hawkes Bay Conservation Action Plan, DOCDM

Regionally important iconic species

Threats: Predatory animals

Kiwi kills

Ferret catch locations between 1996 and January 2011 Ferret catches Boundary Stream Mainland Island Predator Trapping Kahori Nakagawa, DOC

Proposed Project Area

Bait stations for ground control of possums (AHB)

Predator control options Traps: DOC200s for stoats and rats in forest scrub areas DOC250, Belisle cat traps and chimney tunnels for ferrets and cats in wider landscape Leg-hold traps? Self-setting traps? Baits Diphacinone in AHB bait stations for rats PAPP for stoats (cats) – use in DOC220/250 and chimney tunnels. Restricted use

Management Plan Most efficient tools and strategies Target densities for pests (kokako example) Monitoring effectiveness (historical data) – Pest monitoring (i.e. rabbit counts by HBRC, DOC) – Bird monitoring in DOC areas – Pest and native biota monitoring (Landcare Research) Community participation Addressing community concerns Rabbit response to predator control Innes et al. 1999

Predator + Rabbit Control Predator Control No Control This provides an opportunity to test whether doing both predator and rabbit control imparts additional benefit to biodiversity. Historical data (BACI)

Indicator species: are relevant to your monitoring questions are likely to show change within a useful timeframe can be measured easily and precisely Tracking tunnels - mustelids and rodents Chew cards – possums and rats Bird counts – calls, radio-tracking, recording devices? Cameras Weta houses and tracking tunnels Pitfall traps Artificial covers – invertebrates and lizards Seedfall traps Monitoring the benefits
