We’ve been successful in a collaborative grant application with Project Platypus as lead organisation. The project builds on previous Partnerships against Pests work to deliver $50,000 in training opportunities for volunteers across the Wimmera.

We held a pest control demo day with Project Platypus as part of our collaborative Partnerships Against Pests project. Participants learned about feral cats, foxes and rabbit control, and we had demonstrations of canid pest ejectors, rabbit warren fumigation and ripping, and boxthorn pulling.

In this activity, we developed a priority list of weeds for the area informed by the community, through our Partnerships Against Pests project with Project Platypus. Read on to learn more about gazania, horehound, bridal creeper, amsinckia and boxthorn!

This collaborative project, led by Project Platypus and involving Horsham District Landcare Network and Yarrilinks, aims to build capacity and networks in invasive species management.

Wimmera Landcare helped support community attendance at the Wimmera Biodiversity Seminar this year through a collaborative project funded through AgVic's Partnerships against Pests program.
