Working as a community to eradicate pests
A group of Southlanders are determined to get pests under control in their community.
Shane Wilson, Jimi Bull and Jodie Bull founded the Deep South Community Pest Board in December 2016.
Wilson said they formed the group to help members in the community learn how to control pests on their properties and neighbouring forestry blocks.
The group has opened up a Trap and Train programme for the next generation of Southlanders.
The course, which cost $100, taught people how to humanely find and trap pests such as possums.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
