18.01.2022 Learning in lockdown! When the new COVID safety measures were announced, Regional Agriculture Landcare Facilitator Sophie Bass didn’t want the participants of the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board’s bushfire recovery and rural land management course to miss out. Instead, this week’s session was delivered online. With the help of Sustainable Agriculture Officer James Hall, participants created a plan for their land to help them achieve their vision statement for their property. Subscribe to our Regional Landcare News to find out about future training events! https://bit.ly/2UHEiDV This course was supported by the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board through funding from the National Landcare Program. Thanks also to Primary Industries and Regions SA and Adelaide Hills Council for sponsoring this course.

01.01.2022 The Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board has been supporting local landholders to control rabbits. At our distribution day held recently at Mount Barker, over 40 landholders picked up K5 calicivirus-treated carrots to help control feral rabbits. At the same distribution day, landholders affected by the 2019 Cudlee Creek fire were able to buy K5 treated carrots at a subsidised cost, thanks to additional funding from the Australian Government's National Landcare Program. The boar...d also put together a video to help landholders understand how to use the K5 carrots. To ensure the best level of control, many neighbours are working together to release the calicivirus at the same time. This will be followed up in summer by baiting with pindone carrots, to remove young rabbits which tend to be less susceptible to calicivirus. For information on tackling rabbits, please email the Mount Barker office on [email protected]. Please note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, the office is closed for face to face visits until at least this Wednesday. Image: Darren Clements https://bit.ly/373MvYA See more
