Another successful year of the NSPNR-Yongergnow Feral Animal Tally! We had 7 legendary teams across the North Stirlings Pallinup region who together took out 109 foxes, 12 cats & 19 rabbits! Yongergnow Café put on an incredible feed for the Ongerup Tally go-ers and the Ongerup Community members. Attendees heard from project officer Laura Page about the project and why pest control is so important for protecting some of our incredible native species such as the Malleefowl! Licensed Pest Management Technician (LPMT) Greg Elliott spoke to the crowd about some of the work he has been doing implementing pest control on farms including fox/cat baiting and various rabbit control methods. In Gnowangerup at the CRC, Tara McDonald catered a wonderful breakfast for the teams and community members.

Huge thankyou to The Shire of Gnowangerup for their assistance at the tips with the Tally and our generous sponsors – Ongerup Farm Supplies, Summit Fertilizers, Farmers Centre Albany, Gnowangerup Hardware, Stirling Steelworks & WAMMCO.
