For the first webinar session, Peter West (Feralscan Coordinator), from the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s Vertebrate Pest Research Unit will show us how to use the FeralScan website and mobile App to record rabbit problem areas to identify priority areas for future control programs. Our Invasive Species team member, Jack Harriss (Project officer) will explain how they use these programs to assist in general Invasive species management. Our Education, Training and Communications Manager Lisa Wangman will give a demonstration on how to use the Inaturalist platform and app to identify species. This session will help landholders understand the range of modern tools available and how they can be utilised, with plenty of time for questions, discussion and information sharing.
