Working as a community to eradicate pests
A group of Southlanders are determined to get pests under control in their community.
Shane Wilson, Jimi Bull and Jodie Bull founded the Deep South Community Pest Board in December 2016.
Wilson said they formed the group to help members in the community learn how to control pests on their properties and neighbouring forestry blocks.
The group has opened up a Trap and Train programme for the next generation of Southlanders.
The course, which cost $100, taught people how to humanely find and trap pests such as possums.
