April was a big one for the LRC crew. The team wrapped up a massive 10-day stint on the wilding conifer project to finish the season, while also getting stuck into track cutting, more possum control, plus thermal drone work and shooting. The team have been putting in the hard yards- a top effort from everyone. Photo credit to the boys for capturing some epic scenes along the way. 📷 ⛰️☀️

March has been a busy one for the team, covering a wide range of work across the region.

From tackling wilding pines and carrying out wallaby searches, to drone spraying, fertiliser spreading, and ongoing possum control — it's been a full-on month keeping our landscapes productive and protected.

A big effort from the crew to cover a lot of ground and keep projects moving. Looking forward to what April brings.

A little peek at last month's highlights - the team captured some pretty incredible office views while working hard on conservation projects that help protect Aotearoa's unique wildlife and landscapes. ⛰️

Caught in the act! This possum was humanely caught in one of our new AT220 self resetting traps - a big step forward in how we do pest control. These traps are already proving their worth in the field, helping us work smarter, safer, and more efficiently while still delivering great results for landowners and the environment.
