Ferals in target sights
With rabbit, fox and wild cat populations expected to flourish on the South Coast this Autumn and Spring, land managers are encouraged to take action against these destructive pests. Grants of up to $1500 are available to land managers as part of the “Red Card for Rabbits & Foxes” control program.
Since 2004 the program has grown to encourage land managers across the broader landscape to control foxes, cats and rabbits at the same time to have maximum impact. The program complements existing government and community programs such as Western Shield. Grants will provide additional capacity for the purchase of baits and traps, and the organising of community fox shoots.
The Red Card for Red Fox application form can be found on our website. Go to Documents/News/Other News. For more information please contact Kathryn Ashby on (08) 90762200. |

Educating the next generation
Cascade PS students Robbie Carmody, 10, Aaron Wilkinson-King, 9, Young Environmentalist Award winner Jason Wilkinson, 11, and Harry Stead, 8.
Finding new water macro-invertebrates, spotting visiting birds from Siberia, learning about bush tucker, becoming dieback warriors and planting thousands of native seedlings, these are just some of the exciting things students throughout the Esperance District have experienced in 2011. South Coast NRM’s Biodiversity Education Program has had another rewarding year with valuable help from the ERF staff and Esperance Bird Observers Group volunteers.
