New Mustelid Trap Line Installation
Volunteers Fabian Pera and Estelle Leask installed a new mustelid trap line along the Greenpoint walking track and boardwalk found just outside Bluff township. These traps will help reduce mustelids coming into Bluff and will help protect seabirds and forest birds in that area. If you’re in the area and looking for a lovely walk and interesting sights, try the Greenpoint Walkway/Boardwalk. The short walkway (30 min return) begins opposite the Greenpoint Cemetery. A walking track and boardwalk follows the shoreline to Greenpoint, providing panoramic views across Bluff Harbour. A viewing platform overlooks the ship graveyard, Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter, the port, Bluff Hill/Motupohue (standing at 265m, an extinct volcanic cone) and Bluff township.
