Rabbits Baited in 2011

This year POMC came to the party and allocated funds to rabbit baiting at PWR. This was carried out in July, a year since the previous baiting funded by COPP. We'll see how long it is before signs of their presence reappear

Rabbit Poisoning Concluded

Message from Michelle Ritchie, COPP Open Space Tech Officer;

"Program finished mid last week. Rabbit contractor will be around a couple times this week and then return to pick up signs. If you see any more on your travels please pick up safely and discard in the bin."

Damien and I walked around on the weekend and picked up three dead rabbits and saw no live ones. Many of the plants put in over the last couple of months are still going well due to good rain falls. Some of them have had the tops nibbled off but fingers crossed/wishful thinking, the rabbits have been all killed.

Rabbit Control

This rabbit baiting program was arranged by Michelle Ritchie (COPP Open Space Tech Officer) at a cost of $8K. Today I spotted 1 or 2 rabbits today next to a large bush of Atriplex, Coastal Saltbush, where I know there are numerous burrows. A few more weeks of the program are still to run so I hope the rabbits get into the poisoned carrot bait.
