Western Local Land Services is working with landholders to install a total of 376 kilometres of exclusion fencing, which will see 331,170 hectares of property enclosed to better protect landholders and the environment from the impacts of pest animals.
The works will allow participating landholders to protect their properties from unmanaged grazing pressure including feral pigs, wild dogs and kangaroos – benefitting primary production and biodiversity. The exclusion fencing projects will also be a valuable tool in the preparation for a potential emergency animal health outbreak such as foot-and-mouth or lumpy skin disease.
