DEECA's Statewide Invasive Species Program, in partnership with Kiewa Catchment Landcare Groups, Wooragee Landcare and Indigo Valley Landcare is starting a new community feral pig program in the Baranduda, Wooragee and Indigo Valley areas.

Its goals are to provide community support through:

• Adopting a collaborative approach to feral pig management;
• Increasing community awareness and capability in best practice feral pig management;
• Working closely with Agriculture Victoria to provide samples for disease monitoring;
• Provision of training events on feral pig management and control, reporting tools and sampling;
• Provision of traps for landholder use;
• Coordination with any public land works in the area
