Council invites local landholders to educational workshop on feral deer management
Burdekin Shire Council invites local landholders from Majors Creek, Woodstock, and Rita Island to participate in an educational workshop on humanely trapping and disposing of feral deer.
The workshop, held on Tuesday 9 July 2024, will cover humane trapping techniques, disposal methods, and the broader impact of feral deer on our environment. Participants will gain valuable insights from experts in wildlife management and have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss their experiences.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said this workshop is an excellent opportunity for landholders to learn humane and effective methods for managing feral deer populations.
“Council is committed to providing our community with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect our local environment and agriculture,” Cr Dalle Cort said.
“I encourage landholders from Majors Creek, Woodstock, and Rita Island to take advantage of this free educational opportunity. By working together, we can mitigate the negative effects of feral deer and promote sustainable land use practices.”
This initiative is part of Council’s ongoing efforts to support sustainable land management practices and reduce the impact of feral deer on local ecosystems.
The workshop will be held at the Ayr Showgrounds on Tuesday 9 July 2024 from 8:00am-12:00pm with refreshments provided. Please register your interest by calling Council’s Customer Service Centre on (07) 4783 9800 by COB Friday 28 June 2024.
