Did you know that it only takes one year – a good year – for a pair of rabbits to produce up to another 184 rabbits?
The feral rabbit has had a devastating effect on our native biodiversity and agricultural productivity for two centuries.
Rabbits are invasive pests and cause damage to gardens, bushland, and agricultural areas.
Landholders in the Strathbogie Ranges are invited to join Landcare and Victorian Rabbit Action Network (VRAN) presenter Neil Devanney for an information session on how to manage rabbits at Taggerty on Saturday, 16 August.
In the session, participants will develop awareness about how to eradicate rabbits with integrated pest management control methods and look at the various control techniques that can be applied.
