The objective of this project is to reduce the impact of foxes on biodiversity and stock/agriculture assets in the King Parrot Creek catchment.
Foxes threaten many locally significant species such as Long-nosed Bandicoot, Lyrebirds, Brush-tailed Phascogales, Striped-legless Lizard, Spotted-tailed Quoll and the Spotted Quail-thrush.
Foxes also cause significant economic losses to farmers by preying on lambs, kid goats and poultry.
One aim of this project is to coordinate fox eradication action by all stakeholders with an interest in maintaining the natural environment and protecting native species and livestock.
Monitoring with remote sensor cameras is an important part of the project and using FoxScan (at www.feralscan.org.au).
Action takes various forms as suited or acceptable to landholders including monitoring, baiting, soft-jaw trapping, shooting, and den fumigation.
We also regularly run Farm Chemical Users Courses with 1080 endorsement and Fox Control Workshops for participants in the project.
