Rabbit and Hare Control for NSW Landowners
Rabbits and hares compete with livestock for feed, damage crops and strip vegetation. We offer free, community-focused assistance to help NSW landowners manage them responsibly.
The impact
How rabbits and hares affect land
Pasture and crop damage
Grazing pressure reduces feed for livestock and can damage establishing crops.
Erosion and soil loss
Warrens and heavy grazing expose soil and contribute to erosion.
Lost regeneration
Browsing prevents native seedlings and revegetation plantings from establishing.
Our approach
Responsible, humane and properly assessed
We use modern observation equipment and careful site assessment. Specific methods are discussed with you directly rather than published online.
- 1
We discuss the extent of the problem, the type of country and any existing control you have done.
- 2
Site assessment considers terrain, vegetation, stock and neighbouring land use.
- 3
Management is planned using appropriate, humane methods that suit the property.
- 4
Where needed, we point out coordinated effort with neighbours, because rabbit populations rebound quickly.
What to expect
No payment. No pressure. Clear communication.
- A discussion of your property, the damage and your goals.
- An honest view of what is achievable at your site.
