BRaid - Braided River Aid

Want to learn about predators and trapping? Would you be willing to put a trap in your backyard to protect native wildlife (or maybe let someone check the trap for you)? Perhaps you have a few hours to spare each week to check traps. You may be an experienced trapper wanting to pick up a few more tips and tricks to improve your outcome or apply for funding to purchase more traps. 
The workshop, sponsored in part by Predator Free NZ, aims to increase trapping to protect the amazing birdlife in your area.
