A Vertebrate Pesticide Training Day was hosted for the community by Exeter Branch in March 2020.
The day was run by Local Land Services, and resulted in participants receiving LLS Pesticide Authorisation.
This has led to a concerted rabbit control program in the Exeter area.
Some Agriculture and Environment activities have been postponed, including the Wollondilly Group CWA field trip to The Mulloon Institute at Bungendore, now scheduled for November 14, 2020.
Rebecca Hogan is Agriculture and Environment officer for both Wollondilly Group and Exeter Branch.

May usually brings the Annual Conference of CWA of NSW (cancelled for 2020).
Every CWA member (over 8000 in NSW) has opportunity to debate and be part of decision-making for CWA of NSW polices, directions and advocacy.
Branches nominate two delegates to participate in the discussion and voting at the Conference.
Exeter Branch is following the progress of its advocacy motion which became CWA of NSW policy in 2019, relating to the safety of horses and riders on public roads.
CWA offers members so many different pursuits in addition to CWA core activities and programs.
