How to make a safe and effective feral cat trap
Landcare Tasmania's Peter Stronach presented a facebook live demonstration on the cat traps being designed and created by Landcare groups in Tasmania. The key difference between these and commercially available traps, is that this design is more wildlife friendly.
Big thanks to Kevin and Tessa Knowles from Upper Meander Catchment Landcare Group and Dean Brampton from Bronte Park Landcare for their innovation and passion. Further resources:
