Our friends at the Forest Bridge Trust are running free Kiwi Avoidance Training (KAT) sessions across Rodney in November and December.
If you have a dog and live or work near kiwi habitats, you can help safeguard our growing kiwi populations by joining one of the free KAT sessions.
Event Dates & Locations:
๐ Sunday, 3rd November โ Matakana Country Park
๐ Saturday, 7th December โ Morris & James Pottery (Tongue Farm Road)
๐ Sunday, 8th December โ Matakana Country Park
๐ Time: 9 AM โ 3:30 PM
An experienced trainer will guide you and your dog through a 10-minute training session using an e-collar to teach your dog to avoid the scent of kiwi. While KAT is a useful tool, it’s not foolproofโdogs should remain on a leash in known kiwi areas at all times.
