The workshops will include practical demonstrations of different feral pig management tools and techniques, as well as presentations from experienced industry leaders and South East Local Land Services.
Feral pig populations pose a significant threat to agriculture by killing, harassing, or competing with livestock, spreading disease, and contributing to soil erosion. Beyond their impact on primary production, feral pigs are a major threat to the environment, causing damage to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and devastating native vegetation. They are also known to destroy habitats critical to threatened and endangered species, further endangering local biodiversity.
The impact they have to a landholder’s bottom line is considerable, so we all need to be working together to mitigate their impacts as much as possible. These workshops will help to give landholders the tools they need to do just that.
