While it’s the Chinese Lunar Year of the Rabbit, the North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and farmers across the region have a different rabbit at the front of their minds.

February is Rabbit Buster Month, where organisations across the state focus on promoting rabbit control strategies and practical action.

A key event in the catchment this year is the one-for-one rabbit bait deal for Landcare groups or landholders in the Kerang Lakes Region.

“The Kerang Lakes includes a number of internationally-significant and protected wetlands, and we work with the Victorian government to help protect them,” North Central CMA Project Manager Amy Russell said.

“A key part of that protection is pest management. We partner with local farmers on rabbit control programs to enhance the wetlands and help protect sensitive cultural sites”.

“We’re offering locals a deal on a range of bait products to continue that work and help them keep on top of their rabbit control. It’s basically buy one, get one free on us.”

Locals can buy pindone oat bait, 1080 oat or carrot bait, and sterilised free feed products.

Pricing details and user permit requirements are available here.

To order, contact the CMA on (03) 5448 7124 or info@nccma.vic.gov.au, or the Loddon Plains Landcare Network on 0490 412 430 or lpln.facilitator@gmail.com

Orders must be submitted by February 10.

The event is supported by funding from the Victorian Government.
