Bass Coast Landcare Network and Mulloon Institute invite you to get hands-on with a small sub catchment land restoration project at a Bass Coast farm property. 

On Thursday, December 5th, the Bass Coast Landcare Network (BCLN), in partnership with the Kongwak Ellipak Beef-Cheque farmer group, hosted a Partnerships Against Pests field day at the property of Marie and David Triggs in Woodleigh. More than 25 local landholders attended the event, which focused on educating farmers about managing weeds and pest animals such as foxes, rabbits, and deer on their properties.
The day began with morning tea and an introduction from BCLN’s Executive General Manager, Dave Bateman. Dave acknowledged the generous funding support for these field days from DEECA and the Department of Agriculture.
BCLN's Works Crew Team Leader, Bill Barry, led the first session, providing a thorough overview of common weed species in the region. Bill also discussed the most effective control methods and products, concluding with a Q&A session that addressed specific concerns from landholders about which chemicals and techniques work best for different types of weeds.
