Help Make Our District Safer for Farm Animals and Native Wildlife
Is your property 10ha or more in size? If so, please help us reverse the destruction caused by the fox and reduce lamb and wildlife losses in our region. You can do this by joining a local baiting group operating under the supervision of Biosecurity Officers from the South East Local Land Service. We need everybody, both new property owners and those with have years of experience in fox control, to be involved. Here is how it will work:
We will be expanding the number of local fox control groups operating in the district. There will be a group nearby we can introduce you to.
Group leaders will help you in ordering fox baits twice a year which you can collect at a convenient local place eg a fire brigade shed or local property
