🦊 Feral animals are a problem across the Torbay Catchment — and managing them takes a community effort.

Foxes, feral cats and other pest animals don’t stop at property boundaries, so effective control is much more powerful when neighbours and landholders work together.

Come along to our Feral Animal Control Sundowner on Wednesday 14th October from 5.30pm and hear from Animal Pest Management Services (APMS), who will be sharing practical advice on feral animal control, the options available to landholders and how coordinated action can make a bigger impact.

🐈 CLAWS will also be joining us to answer your questions about feral cat control and share their knowledge and experience.

Whether you’re already controlling feral animals on your property, have noticed them around Torbay, or simply want to know what you can do, this is a great opportunity to ask the experts, learn from others and be part of a coordinated community response.

👉 Ferals are everyone’s problem — and together, we can make a difference.
