Pest Free Pisa Moorings is one step closer to transforming its lakeside settlement into a bunny-free oasis.
For the past 18 months, the volunteer group has been leading the way in the battle against the barrage of rabbits that have plagued the Central Otago community.
The group has eradicated an estimated 90 per cent of the pest population.
Members marked the completion of the next stage of their fight - the installation of two rabbit-stops (similar to cow-stops but designed to prevent rabbits crossing) at the community's entry points on the Lake Dunstan Cycling and Walking Trail - with a small celebration on Tuesday.
The rabbit-stops will prevent rabbits from entering the subdivision via the cycle trail and add to the ways the group was already combatting the pest - magtoxin gas, rabbit-proof fencing and digging up burrows.
