Living With Deer Field Day

The Upper Ovens Valley Landcare Group is running a living with deer awareness program in 2022. As part of that we are running a field day where we will visit a number of mixed properties in the Buckland Valley to discuss deer issues that landowners have and what some of the solutions might be. We will have a series of expert speakers attending that will discuss property planning and the use of tools such as fencing, commercial harvesting, professional pest controllers, hunter assistance, deterrents etc. Landowners will talk about their experiences, the impact of deer and what works and what hasn’t in reducing that impact. We will also have public land managers to discuss co-operative cross tenure programs. We are developing a kit for landowners that will be the final product of the program.

Meet: at the Porepunkah Roundabout, Buckland Valley Road exit on the right @ 10.00am.
Transport: tag along in your car but we ask you to car pool where possible.

Lunch provided. Contact Peter on 0487 295 198 with any questions.
