North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources was one of twelve shires that participated in a project to strategically bait for fox control.

Pest animals and weeds require ongoing management by farmers, but farmers’ capacity to do this during drought is often reduced at the very time when pests and weeds can cause problems for already stressed pasture and livestock. The impact can undermine drought management and recovery efforts. This program involved twelve shires in the Great Southern region, was coordinated by the Shire of Kent and targeted the red fox.

At the first bait run (February 2020) NSPNR had five participants. There were an additional two participants for the second bait run (August 2020). Participants were happy with the results they achieved with the baits.

July 2019 - June 2021

This project was funded by the Australian Government under the Communities Combating Pests and Weed Impacts During Drought Program.

Baits must be adequately secured at all times.
