Foxes are one of the most significant threats to our native biodiversity and they impact our livestock and agricultural production. This workshop offers an opportunity to engage with experts on fox behaviour and best practice control options at landscape scale with a focus on peri-urban areas and collaborative management.

Wodonga Urban Landcare Network is working with Agriculture Victoria to deliver this workshop on managing foxes in our area. The workshop with be held in two sessions outlined below.

The first session is a presentation and will focus on:

History, biology, behaviour
Impacts on the environment and biodiversity
Proven integrated management
Collaboration and landscape approach
Importance of humane and legal practice

The second session will be in the field for:

Identifying signs of foxes (and other possible pest species)
Demonstration of control techniques such as trapping and baiting
Assessing management options best suited to your problem and property

This event is the third workshop in our Partnership Against Pests workshop series 'Growing capacity against invasives on small blocks'. We will be hosting three more events this year on woody weeds, herbaceous weeds and blackberries.

The 'Growing capacity against invasives on small blocks' project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Partnerships Against Pests program.
