DOC and a Canterbury power company are joining forces - to take the power out of possum's paws
1 November 2019
Orion has agreed to jointly fund a full-time possum hunter in Banks Peninsula.
DOC's Mahaanui Manager Andy Thompson says they have a big problem with possums destroying sensitive native plants in the area.
But he says the move will help with a lot more than just conservation.
Thompson says the possums have also been shorting out power lines on the Peninsula.
