Do you know what feral pig damage looks like—or how it affects pastures, waterways, and native vegetation?
We held a free 2-hour workshop at Carlisle River Hall in July to learn how we can work together to manage feral pigs in the Western Otways (from Simpson to Princetown, Barongarook to Johanna).
This was the first in a series of workshops to be held across the Otways in the next 24 months.
The Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation (EMAC) is playing a pivotal role in building marine resilience along Victoria’s Otways and southwest coast through a pioneering research initiative that places Indigenous bio-cultural knowledge at the core of marine conservation.
Forests are managed for a wide range of important reasons – to protect and enhance biodiversity, reduce bushfire risk, create opportunities for tourism and recreation and make use of forest products like firewood to name a few.
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) have a profound impact on natural ecosystems, agriculture and cultural values.
