Feral Goats, Fox Bait Distribution, Summer Weeds & Drone Learning

Are feral goats a concern in your area? ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

Feral goats are on the rise across the Eyre Peninsula and are a major contributor to land degradation through overgrazing. To help get on top of the problem, weโ€™re working with local landholders to deliver upcoming aerial feral goat control programs.

Weโ€™re currently seeking Eyre Peninsula landholders who are interested in being involved in these programs.

Summer weeds: what to watch for โš ๏ธ

A number of priority weeds grow during summer and can quickly spread if left unmanaged. These include:

  • Buffel grass

  • Fountain grass

  • African lovegrass

  • Silverleaf nightshade

  • Caltrop

  • Khaki weed

What should you do if you find these weeds?

  • If theyโ€™re growing on your property, refer to our factsheets for recommended control methods.

  • If you spot them on road verges or public land, please notify your local Council.

If you have questions about control methods or need help finding a pest control contractor, contact your closest Landscape Board office or refer to the Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) weed resources.

Sustainable Agriculture Facilitators are supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program. Their role is to engage and inform farmers, landholders, community groups and agricultural industries across their NRM region about climate-smart, sustainable agriculture practices that support best-practice natural resource management, biodiversity outcomes, carbon markets, emissions reduction and on-farm climate resilience.

This includes sharing relevant government information, policies, programs, funding opportunities and training, facilitating partnerships and connections across the agricultural sector, and supporting the delivery of sustainable agriculture projects through events, communication activities and communities of practice.
