Longlea Property Walks with Victorian Rabbit Action Network

Join Nature Network and Longlea District Landcare Group for property walks with Victorian Rabbit Action Network (VRAN) mentors in Longlea. This event is part of Nature Networks' Bendigo Rabbit and Weeds Community Action Project delivering a series of educational events for the management of pests and weeds in the region. There is also a property walk in Huntly on the morning of 15 March focusing on the control of rabbits in urban and peri-urban environments. For the Huntly walk - click here

VRAN representatives will advise on integrated management methods of rabbit control and how to adapt these principles to a whole property management approach.

You will learn how to:

• Read the landscape: Identify rabbit activity and warrens

• Control techniques for rural living properties

• Dealing with warrens under structures (e.g. sheds/ out buildings)

• Rules & regulations for baiting techniques

• Best practice control over the seasons

We will spend most of the session out in the field so please come prepared with drink bottles, hats sunscreen, appropriate clothing and footwear.

Lunch will be provided on arrival.

We will meet at a property in Longlea. The property address and directions will be provided closer to the event date.

In the event of extreme heat or extreme/ catastrophic fire conditions the event will be postponed. We will contact you via email the week of the event if this is the case.

This event was funded through the Victorian Governments Partnership Against Pests program.
