For the past two years we have been delivering Feral Cat information sessions with our partners to the community across Tasmania as part of our landscape projects. Our information session on 17th June in Triabunna was well attended and very informative. With support from specialists including partner the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions, we learnt how devastating feral cats, stray cats and even pet cats are to wildlife. On average a feral cat can kill 791 animals a year.

This week we enjoyed a picturesque visit to Penny Laksey's property to have a look at the natural regeneration happening along the kukuninka/Leven River in North West lutruwita.

With the assistance of Landcare Tasmania and some serious elbow grease from these amazing farmers, the site has responded positively. A concerted effort by Penny and husband Steve through fencing, offstream watering, natural regeneration and active revegetation has resulted in a functioning and healthy riparian zone, improved water quality and healthy stock and pasture.
