Pest Animal Control
Protecting and restoring the Fitz-Stirling Priority Place for nature and people
The FBG is undertaking an integrated feral animal control program in partnership with South Coast NRM through the Protecting and restoring the Fitz-Stirling Priority Place for nature and people project. Funded through Australian Government Saving Native Species Program, we aim to;
reduce the impact from foxes and cats on threatened species such as Mallee Fowl and Carnaby’s Cockatoo.
reduce the impact by rabbits on threatened native plant communities such as Kwongkan shrubland
