Ross Giblin/Stuff Conservation Volunteers’ Wellington manager Natalie Jones, left, heads out with Polhill Protoectors Dave Meyers, Shelby Stoneburner, Sarah Joyes, Andrew Williams, Cecelia Warren and Kevin O’Donnell to set up wasp bait stations in Polhill Reserve, Aro Valley. The wasp eradication efforts target the German and common wasps. Not all wasps are the enemy – New Zealand native wasps, many of them small and sting-less, are valuable pollinators, and the specially designed bait was not attractive to native wasps, or to bees. Conservation Volunteers NZ’s national campaigns manager Natalie Jones said this was the first year the project had run as planned in Wellington, with Covid-19 putting a halt to progress last year.
