RUN RABBIT RUN....FERAL RABBIT MANAGEMENT

Do you have blackberries on your property? If you do you probably also have rabbits.

Blackberries act as a pest harbour for invasive species such as rabbits. Managing rabbits in our landscape is important as they threaten our environment, agricultural production and cultural heritage. Rabbits pose a community-wide challenge. However overcoming rabbits is not impossible it just takes an understanding of the best practice management techniques

Join VRAN - Victorian Rabbit Action Network & Kiewa Catchment Landcare Groups to learn about community-led action and effective and sustainable rabbit management.

This FREE half day workshop packed with valuable insights and practical tips, will help you learn how to manage feral rabbits on your property and engage with others to do the same.

This workshop is part of our Busting Blackberries Series and focuses on effective rabbit management. This event will be complemented with blackberry control specific events throughout October and November 2025.
