Trappers Event June 2025

Thanks to all our trappers and partners for making our annual event, on Saturday 7 June, such a great success. Mahurangi West Pest fundraiser Beth Harper (left) talked about contributing through donations, as well as the importance of safety in the field.

The Mazda Foundation generously donated all the H&S gear shown in the photos above and below, which were distributed to our trappers during the event. Suzie (below left), says she can’t wait to trial her Macpac pouch and safety equipment in the field. Lead trappers Mike Neil and Jeff Marsh check out the Mazda-sponsored table, with first aid kits and safety gloves and tongs (below right).

Andrew Finlay (above right) receives lure, bait and jerky (for the new LureGard false eggs, also sponsored by Mazda) from lead trapper Mike Neil’s popular pest control filling station.

Harjit Sidhu (Kauri Ora Farms) left, receives a certificate for his significant contribution towards eradicating the invasive myna on the Mahurangi West peninsula, from Brian Bramell, Mahurangi West Pest Chair, at the Trappers’ Event in June 2025.
