When he’s not performing his contract role as a pest controller in the Ranges for Auckland Council, Willow volunteers for almost every environmental group with an interest in controlling pests within the Ranges. Each week he covers miles of dense, often steep, Hunua bush in his gumboots (no socks) to check bait lines and set traps. While it is important to control predator pests of all types: rats, possums, stoats, pigs, goats and deer, Willow says there are far more ferrets around than we think. A ferret was responsible for the death of two of the six Kiwi released into the Hunua Ranges’ Kokako Management Area in 2017. The area had been considered clear of the mustelids, but DNA tests confirmed the birds’ deaths were due to injuries caused by a ferret. Extra traps and lures were put out in the area, and a few days later the culprit ferret was caught. Willow has seen or heard of a number of ferrets found around Hunua, including 6 caught on his own property in the past 20 years.

The ‘walkshop’ was organised by the NZ Walking Access Commission (WAC), and brought together more than 30 of Auck- land’s regional trail leaders, including those involved in creating trails within Clevedon and on the Pohutukawa Coast. WAC regional field adviser, Dot Dalziell, convened the event and says it was ex- citing to see people who are passionate about our environment and our wellbeing coming together to share ideas and plans for creating quality tracks and trails for locals and visitors. “The benefits of local tracks and trails are real, including safe and healthy daily commutes to and from school on foot or by bike, and reconnecting communities, local history, treasured waterways and other special places,” says Dot. “Trail builders are community heroes!” Clevedon Conversations updated walkshop attendees with their progress on developing a community-led master plan for Clevedon, incorporating the trails network. Groups working to provide walking, cycling and bridle trails within their local communities met in Clevedon last week for a ‘walkshop’ organised by New Zealand’s Walking Access Commission.
