Ashley & Rowena Feral Pig Management

In the Gwydir valley a series of workshops on

vegetation management were held with 43

landholders within the Ashley and Rowena area

attending them. As part of the workshops participants

undertook landscape planning, identifying native

vegetation management issues within their local

area. Participants at these workshops identified feral

animals such as foxes and pigs as one of the key

threats to production and biodiversity on their farms.

From these workshops two area wide management

groups were formed to develop and implement a

control program for feral pigs.
