Byron Shire Council’s Draft Pest Animal Management Plan (PAMP) for the next five years is on public exhibition until June 12.
Claudia Caliari, Council’s Biodiversity Projects Officer, is encouraging people who are interested in the environment and protection of native plants and animals, to review the plan.
The Byron Shire Pest Animal Management Plan is a document that explains how Council will manage, or control, pest animals on Council-owned land.
Biodiversity threat
‘Pest animals are a significant threat to biodiversity and can cause enormous damage to our natural environment and can be a burden to local farmers,’ Ms Caliari said.
‘It focuses only on land-based vertebrate pests which, put simply, means animals with backbones like foxes, rabbits and deer, that live on land,’ she said.
