Meet the seven-year-old who's passionate about pest trapping!

A young Aucklander is starting early with his commitment to protecting our native animals. At just seven, Jaxton is a regular pest trapping volunteer in his community of Franklin, and is now a Trap Master at a local reserve. The school holidays are coming up which means Jaxton will have more time for his hobby, but it also means other children have a chance to get involved thanks to EcoFest - that's a series of events that get the whole family involved in protecting our native taonga. To learn more about trapping, conservation and EcoFest, Jaxton and Community Coordinator Carrie Harman are with Jesse.
