City Sanctuary won a brand new AT220 trap from NZ Autotraps Ltd during Conservation Week 2025. The competition drew over 500 entries from all over New Zealand, and we were stoked to take out the ‘Possum’ category. Straight away, we knew the best thing to do was pay it forward. We decided to gift it to Project Kererū – and the driving force behind the project, Nik Hurring.

When bold possums move in, even Ōtepoti Dunedin’s toughest pet cats aren’t safe. Discover one homeowner’s story, the surprising behaviour of urban possums, and how City Sanctuary helped restore peace - all in this eye-opening account of wildlife literally on the back doorstep.
