Do you know what wildlife live on your place and what predators are tracking them down at night?
Find out what animals are on your place after dark at the next event from the Small Farms Network Capital Region.
A feral animal monitoring webinar and paddock demonstration will be held on Sunday, February 27. The free webinar will start at 9.30am and the optional paddock demonstrations start at 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
At this event you learn how to monitor feral animals so you can design a successful management program for foxes, feral dogs and cats and other destructive animals.
The topics discussed will include using wildlife cameras for feral animal monitoring, understanding feral animal behaviour and different control options for small farms.
The monitoring techniques are also useful for observing some wildlife activity at night.
At the paddock demonstration you will be shown how to monitor feral animals using a wildlife camera. This will include how to set up a wildlife camera and how to position the camera for best results.
Our presenter Alice McGlashan is a natural resource management practitioner and environmental educator, who lives on a rural bush property in Wamboin.
She has a Masters Degree in Environmental Science and Law and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology.
Alice spends her free time improving the native habitat on her property for wildlife and actively controls feral predators to protect her poultry and local native animals.
The optional paid paddock demonstration is a COVID-safe event. It will be held in Wamboin, costs $11 per person and places are limited.
Bookings are essential for both the free webinar and the paddock demonstration. Find out more information and register at https://smallfarmscapital.org/events.
