Controlling Foxes & other Ferals

Join us for an engaging and informative session focused on effective strategies for managing invasive species. Learn how tackling these threats can help protect our native wildlife and restore ecological balance.

While this event will be fox focused, we will also provide information on the management of feral cats, rabbits and deer.

Expert Presentations:

• Aaron Stephens from Bass Coast Landcare Network will dive into the full suite of control methods for foxes, feral cats, rabbits, and deer. Discover how integrated pest management strategies can deliver powerful, long-term results on your property or in your local landscape.

• Dr Alex Maisey will share fascinating insights into Superb Lyrebird behaviour, their vulnerability to introduced predators, and the positive outcomes of fox control for lyrebird populations. He'll also explore how deer are impacting critical lyrebird habitat.

• David Laird from the Sporting Shooters Association Victoria will talk about using shooting as a control method for introduced species including deer. He will cover how to safely engage a contract shooter or recreational hunter as part of a control program and also discuss other control methods and deterrents. 

📸 Get Involved!
Attendees will have the opportunity to borrow SGLN camera traps to monitor pest activity or capture images of the amazing native species that call your property home.

Whether you're a landholder, nature lover, or curious local, this is a chance to deepen your understanding of invasive species management and how you can make a real difference.

See you there!
