An agreement with a landowner to provide access to existing islands for annual spring predator control is developed. The landowner normally does not receive payment and predator trapping of the island is contracted. All artificially created islands are trapped for predator removal throughout the nesting season. Natural islands which have significant nesting activity are also trapped.
Islands are quite variable in size but average four acres.
