Overview

The expertise and services being sourced are a panel of suppliers to do goat culling in the Whanganui National Park. This effort is in the form of ground hunters with up to 2 dogs each for the location and destruction of feral goats in remote locations. . There are between 2800 to 6400 hours of hunting effort annually for the next 3 years.
There are 5 blocks in total, not all blocks will be run every year, and each block may be assigned to separate suppliers from the panel. We therefore encourage the suppliers to provide prices and apply for all the blocks included in the RFT, even if you may not be able to commit to all five blocks in a single year.

The removal of feral goats will allow the lowland forest to begin recovering from long term ungulate browsing. This has benefits for forest health, less erosion and improvement in the water quality.
