From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 8 July 2019

Today Predator Free Wellington begins a huge project to install 6,000 traps and bait stations across Miramar Peninsula. 

It's the biggest urban predator eradication operation in the country, involving almost 3,000 households and businesses. James Willcocks, Project Director, discusses how it will work. 

The government announced it's aiming to make New Zealand predator free by 2050.
