Specifically, North Coast Local Land Service is looking for organisations or individuals who have the necessary skills and credentials to take part in invasive pest management, including trapping and shooting on private and crown lands within their local area.
North Coast Local Land Services will implement these programs in areas affected by the recent bushfires and in adjacent lands up to 50km from fire scars.
The program will include feral pig, wild dog, feral cat and wild deer control projects as outlined in the Regional Strategic Pest Animal Management Plan for the North Coast.
Team Leader Invasive Species Dean Chamberlain said the wild dog and wild deer control programs would involve local contractors managing these pests by trapping and shooting respectively.
Feral pigs will be managed using a new control toxin, Hoggone.
North Coast Local Land Services will provide all materials required and the necessary training in baiting techniques for some pest species.
