Guide to Managing Feral Pigs

A large part of managing the feral pig problem is dependent on the Landholder’s awareness of the problem.

Using the Scott Coastal Plain as a case study, this Landholder Guide aims to provide:

  1. More knowledge into the pigs’ biology and ecology and where and how they live.
  2. Ways you can assess the problem on your land and develop a management plan.
  3. Options for monitoring and control techniques.
  4. Evaluation methods for your plan so you can modify and repeat as necessary.

This project is supported through funding from the Shire of Nannup, Peppermint Estate Pty Ltd., and the State Natural Resource Management Program, and is facilitated through a continuing partnership with the Lower Blackwood LCDC the Lower Blackwood Vertebrate Pest Management Group.

In addition the Augusta Margaret River Shire, through it’s Environmental Management Fund, has provided support for a 1 year pilot Feral Pig Focus project to complement the Scott River Project for Feral Pig Control in the wider AMR shire.
