Chiltern Landcare Group invites Chiltern locals to attend a demonstration field day run by the Victorian Rabbit Action Network (VRAN).

Learn how to manage rabbits effectively, protect local habitats, and work together with your neighbours to achieve long-term control.

This demonstration field day will involve a demonstration of rabbit proofing two public buildings in the Chiltern township. The focus will be on demonstrating the techniques to exclude rabbits from under and around public buildings.

This workshop hopes to inspire a collaborative community approach to managing pest rabbits in the township of Chiltern.

This event is run in partnership with Chiltern Landcare Group, Victorian Rabbit Action Network, Ovens Landcare Network, Indigo Shire Council and Agriculture Victoria. The VRAN Managing Rabbits in Chiltern - Information Session & Town Walk is supported by the Victorian Government through the Partnerships Against Pests grant program.
