Jesse Mulligan and other backyard trappers doing their bit

In 2015, Jesse Mulligan presented ecologist (and current PFH trustee) John Innes with an award recognising his outstanding contribution to our understanding of just how bad mammalian predators are for our native birds. Jesse was so intrigued by the subject that he invited John to talk about some of his research the next day on RNZ. Since then Jesse has become a dedicated backyard trapper, and he’s spreading the word. Keeping a rat trap or two set and baited is something most gardeners can easily do to make a real difference for New Zealand’s birds and other wildlife.
