What to record

Sightings or evidence

Such as observations, hoof prints, scats or camera photos. The more information you record, the more informative the map will become over time. Trends in animal movements can be used to help decide where control activities can be undertaken.

 

Damage

These include infrastructure, native vegetation, agricultural land, culturally significant sites etc. Recording the damage that these animals cause is important for deciding when and where control should be undertaken. It can also be used to help you access resources and support.

 

Control activities

Recording control activities can help you to (1) create a map of where you are focusing your efforts and keep a record of where you have used a technique, (2) evaluate whether changes are needed, and (3) help you work with your neighbours to synchronise control to get the best outcomes.

 

 

All information regarding control is managed privately.
