Hi Sam

 

 

I have been involved in rabbit and fox control in residential areas including Keilor, Sunbury, Westmeadows and Taylors Lakes. My main experience is in using Pindone for rabbits, sometimes within bait stations other times trail feeding in more out of the way areas. We have always informed all residents via letter box drops articles in the local papers and contacted all the local vets to ensure that Vitamin K (the andidote) is in good supply and to be on the look out for pets showing symptoms of Pindone poisoning. I have had one dog showing symptoms in over 10 years of doing this work. We dropped him to a vet who fixed him up in five minutes. I think he ate a poisoned rabbit from within a warren. He was a small foxy he survived ok and was reunited with his owner. 99% of rabbits die in the warrens from Pindone we normally get the contractor or crew to sweep the are for any rabbits that do rarely die out in the open.

 

Good contractors are hard to find if you call me I can put you in touch with a few. I find that baiting with pindone then I usually have two free feeds then at least three to up to five poison feeds to ensure all the population are killed. Monitoring the bait left after each feed gives you a good indication of how things are travelling. Where we have had good bait uptake the response from the vegetation is significant especially palatable species such as She oaks etc. The weeds also respond well to less grazing. It is not until you get them under control do you realise the full impact they have on the ecosystem.

 

Foxes I have only really been involved in live trapping with good success with the right contractors.

 

Happy to chat about anything I have mentioned

 

Thanks

Subject: [LGBRVIC] Feral animal control in residential areas

 

Hi All,

I'm wanting to hear from anyone who conducts, or has conducted any
sort of feral animal control in small or large bushland reserves in
residential areas. We have been doing bits and pieces of feral
animal control (foxes, cats, rabbits, rats etc) on the Mornington
Peninsula
for a number of years for a variety of reasons, from
protecting rare orchids from rabbit grazing to fox control for small
mammal protection. Most of this work up until now has only been
conducted in larger reserves generally away from heavilly populated
residential areas, but taking into account that the majority of our
Bushland Reserves are within residential areas, we have been fairly
limited in what we can do.

It would be interesting to hear from others who have been involved in
these kind of works, in particular the sort of response you have had
in regards to the feral populations, involvement from the community,
other successes and failures and generally anything else that you
think could be worth sharing. Feral animal control is an important
factor in biodiversity conservation, and something that can often be
put on the back shelf for bush regenerators.

I look forward to hearing your experiences and views.

Cheers

Sam Hand
Conservation Officer
Mornington Peninsula Shire

Hey Sam,

I agree. I know that for us at Frankston what little we have done in
the past has been very adhoc. We do have an integrated pest animal
management plan for one of our reserves that was written up a couple
of years ago and could easily adapt for our other reserves but
funding has been hit-and-miss each year.

We have done the training and have purchased quite a bit of gear but
have to get serious now about implementation. I don't think we will
achieve anything without employing someone to co-ordinate our
efforts. In other words; have a dedicated position to organise it and
run it because such a task needs 100% attention. For the existing
staff to try and cope with the 'normal' work as well as something
like pest animal control gets too distracting and then nothing gets
done properly.

I've always thought that we are basically restricted to trapping and
den fumigation (and possibly feral proof fencing, but this is
expensive and would not suit all reserves)in such a suburban setting.
Maybe I'm wrong about this, if anyone has any comments?

Even these two activities will attract public attention,good or bad,
mostly bad I would assume.

Judging by the negative feedback we get from herbicide spraying, I
can only assume that using 1080 would create a massive backlash in
the community, I certainly wouldn't want the headache!

What about sterilization? not sure on the efficacy of this. Must do
some more research on the matter.

I know I haven't been of much help Sam, but just thought your email
came at an interesting time after having just come back from the VRA
workshop at Phillip Island and basically coming away fustrated at not
being able to utilise the full range of 'weapons' against such
formidable predators.

One thing that may be of interest to you regarding rabbit control is
the use of nets in conjuction with dogs, this apparently is quite
successful but of course you would be relying on the contractor with
his trained dogs do much of the work, possibly raising costs? I can't
remember the name of the guy that got mentioned when I did the course
last but could probably try and find it in my notes if you are
interested in pursuing this further.

Yahoo Id process is putting a few people off.

Anyway, must keep trying.

Hi all

Can i ask that each person on this list send the link to this site

http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/LGBRVIC

To at least five friends or collegues who you think may benefit from
involvement in this chat group so we can broaden the focus and get a
bit more activity. Even if one person from each member joins up we
would have doubled the membership.

If you need help please feel free to call me anytime

Thanks

Hi everyone,
 
I attended a meeting of the Victorian Rangers Association today and
it was conveyed to me that the association is extremelly keen in
getting members from other organisations other than Parks Victoria.
 
Just like I used to,  you probably think that your job title would
not allow you to become a member, but this is not true. To become a
member you have to work in a field delivery role for Victorian
organizations that have natural and cultural resource conservation
as their main focus. is this now starting to sound like you?
 
If you do become a member, you become part of an international
community with benefits like free entry to most National Parks,
discounts of 10 to 15% at places like Aussie Disposals and Mountain
designs.
 
They also organise professional development days, with one coming up
around December at Phillip Island running over two days and focusing
on fox management and bird rescue.
 
The association can also help you by writing supporting letters to
your proposals for your place of employment where appropriate.
 
It's a great way of keeping in touch with other people that face
similar issues to you, much like this forum is trying to do.
 
Jason, I believe that you know Fiona Smith, the President of the
association, or at least she knows you. I'm not sure how we could do
it, but I think it would be great to link these two groups somehow.
Have you any ideas?

The 2006 PPW Regional Landcare Awards included 11 categories, and a total of 58 nominations were received. Five separate judging panels were established to assess these nominations.

I would also like to congratulate all those who were nominated for an award for their outstanding efforts, and special congratulations go to the winners from each award category.

The 11 winners from each award category were each given a framed certificate. The certificate frames are individually handcrafted from recycled and/or reclaimed timber by a local furniture maker.

Hi all,

Without turning this message into an advertisement, I would like to
introduce myself. My business partner Graeme Hoxley (He's on this
group too) and I run an environmental contracting business. As well
as the usual weed control and reveg stuff we also specialise in the
harvesting and sowing of native grasses. We have been doing the
native grass thing for about three years now and have sowed anything
from Golf Courses and roadsides to batters and lawns. Over this time
we have gained some kind of understanding of what works and what
usually doesn't. There is still much to learn from future projects
and of course form other people's experience.  I hope we can be of
some assistance to this group in this area, so if you have any
questions or experiences regarding reveg using native grasses that
you would like to share, we would be happy to help if we can.

Over time I hope to post some of the projects we have been involved
with if there is sufficient interest.

Chris

Hi Jason,
I agree, this needs a bit of a kickstart. I'll bring it up again at
our next meeting at Frankston.

Couple of questions for the group:
1. Is everyone aware of Mornington's Park Ranger Sean Willmore's
documentary DVD of Rangers around the world? if not, got to this
website: www.thingreenline.info

2. I would like to get a discussion going on ecoburns, in particular
regimes for different EVCs. Does anybody have good info on this
subject?

Not stem scrapping but I have had plenty of experience removing it from
trees. I usually cut every stem going up the tree and removed a 1.5
metre section of ivy right around the tree. Make sure you cut the ground
level stem as close to the ground as possible and paint each one with
straight Glyposate! This usually requires follow up for the ground level
stems. Sometimes the stuff up in the canopy of the tree does not die
straight away especially of the tree has fibrous bark, they seem to take
forever to die (must get substance from the bark and leaf litter).

Anyway this method has worked well for tackling ivy trying to take over
trees.

Good luck

Subject: [LGBRVIC] Strategic Weeding

Hi everyone

I am interested to know if anyone has had any success with stem
scraping of ivy, and if so, what chemical was used? And was it neat or
diluted?
