With the help of NSW Local Land Services (LLS), the NSW Government is raising the stakes in the war on pest animals, with the state’s first feral pig coordinator ready to roll out a boosted $13 million control program to support farmers.
Over the next 8 months, NSW Feral Pig Coordinator Bec Gray will drive the program to cull at least 87,000 feral pigs across NSW with high focus on the 3 priority hotspots.
With predicted dry and warm weather over summer, efforts will focus around persistent water resources as pigs concentrate in these areas as other watering holes disappear. NSW LLS will monitor and adapt programs based on feral pig behaviours and movements.
