This is what HOPE looks like …

It’s raw and upsetting …

To all the big people out there who have the means and capability to make change … imagine these young people are your children, your grandchildren … would they be proud of your actions (or inactions)?

💚 NEW RESOURCE ALERT 💚

We're excited to announce the arrival of a fresh batch of PestSmart by Centre for Invasive Species Solutions Glovebox Guides, proudly funded through Agriculture Victoria 's Partnerships Against Pests project and co-branded with Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network.

Even more exciting, we're among the first Landcare networks in Australia to receive the newly updated and expanded Glovebox Guide for Managing Rabbits – a practical, best-practice resource developed by the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions and PestSmart to help landholders achieve better long-term rabbit control outcomes.

Available guides now include:
🐰 Rabbits
🦌 Feral Deer
🦊 Foxes
🐕 Wild Dogs
🐱 Feral Cats
🐷 Feral Pigs

These pocket-sized guides are packed with practical information to help landholders:
✔ Understand pest animal behaviour and impacts
✔ Develop effective management plans
✔ Apply best-practice control techniques
✔ Monitor and improve results over time

Effective pest animal management works best when neighbours, communities and agencies work together. These guides are a fantastic starting point for anyone wanting to better understand and tackle invasive species on their property.

To order your copies, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/LrPoFUqFByxGSKfE9) and we'll post them out to you.

Together, we're turning plans into practice and helping protect our farms, native wildlife and landscapes from invasive species.

Have you thought about getting the wheels back out?

Well, today’s the day... it’s World Bicycle Day!

Health, fun, necessity, sustainability – whatever the reason to ride, bicycles are a great way to get those who are able from A to B in a way that improves health and the environment.

To all our cyclist friends today, be safe, wear a helmet, and enjoy the ride!
