Peel Harvey Biosecurity Group to hold Waroona fox control workshop to provide insights on ‘soft jaw’ traps

The Peel Harvey Biosecurity Group is holding a fox control workshop at the Waroona Landcare Centre on Friday, focusing on the best practice use of “soft jaw” traps.

A field demonstration by trapping expert Eddie Juras will headline the workshop.

He will share his four decades of knowledge of fox behaviour and show how to create a successful soft jaw trapping program using a triangular system made of three traps.

Along with being shown the best ways to humanely trap the foxes, attendees will have access to information resources alongside the PHBG’s fox control equipment and subsidy information.

The workshop will run between 10am and 12pm.

While the event is free, interested parties are asked to register by 12pm on Wednesday.
