Lions Predator Free (Palmerston North)

Want to HELP RID Palmerston North of RATS and encourage an increase in Native Bird Life?

Lions Predator Free is an initiative of the Lions Club of Middle Districts based in Palmerston North and is supported by the Predator Free NZ Trust.

We operate the Lions Mini Golf in the Esplanade and we run the National Lions Christmas Cake project annually.

We want Palmerston North to eventually be predator free so that we can all enjoy what will be a consequential increase in the native bird population. Ridding Palmerston North of rats won’t happen overnight and as a voluntary, self-funded organisation of about 50 members we need more help.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN

We initially targeted Hokowhitu and are now ready to take the project further afield. We have placed traps in the Hokowhitu area, Manawatu Golf Club and traps along the walkway from the Bridge around to the bottom of Albert Street.

We are supplying the traps FREE!!! The traps are easy to manage and safe for birds, pets and children. All you need to do is check the trap, keep it baited and tell us when you catch something!  You will also get a regular newsletter with tips & tricks on baiting and placement etc.

May 2026 Update

Lions Predator Free has placed over 150 traps throughout Palmerston North and beyond and our traps have caught over 250 rats and a few hedgehogs.

A great effort but we have plenty of traps so if you think of someone who wants or who should have a trap, please let me know.
