Making your garden safe for wildlife

Are you looking for practical ways to protect local native species right from your own backyard?

Join us for the third event in our Wildlife Stewardship Series, where we discuss two big challenges facing urban and rural wildlife: managing pests safely and keeping pets happy without compromising native species.

Whether you have a large, sprawling garden, or a cosy courtyard, this presentation will equip you with actionable, eco-friendly strategies to co-exist with native fauna.

What to expect:

• Interactive presentation with expert guest speakers, practical demonstrations and an opportunity to ask your questions

• Light refreshments will be provided.

• Do you have any SGARs lying around at home? Bring them along for safe disposal at our event!

Hear from:

• Dr Boyd Wykes (Owl Friendly Margaret River) who will discuss the hidden impacts of common rodenticides and share effective, safe, and alternative methods to manage rodents without harming wildlife.

• Chris Ferreira (The Forever Project) Renowned sustainability expert Chris Ferreira will show you how 'catios' (enclosed cat patios) and smart pet containment can provide a brilliant win-win - keeping your cats safe from cars and fights while giving native fauna a fighting chance.

Every choice we make in our garden effects the wider ecosystem - join us for insights and practical solutions and become a local wildlife steward!

This event is made possible thanks to funding provided by the City of Bunbury's Habitat Bunbury Program.
