Have you noticed the poison bait operations in your area?

The Team Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Mt Tiger resident Andrew Randall is concerned the laying of poisoned bait in the area could mean local residents, their animals and pig hunters could unwittingly be eating residual toxins. What do you think? Do you think locals should have more notice about poison operations?

I apologise for posting on the Noticeboard, but there doesn't seem to be a category under Recommendations to recommend a walk.
Yesterday my wife and I walked the Mt Manaia Track. The last time we walked it was 18 months ago, and it looks like DOC has done some more upgrade work since then, because it didn't feel as rugged and strenuous to us as we remembered it.
There is now a beautiful boardwalk around some impressive Kauri trees, see attached photo.
We think that it truly deserves to be one of New Zealand's Great Short Walks. Well done, DOC.
