Please complete our pest survey
Anecdotally, we’re hearing that afforestation, particularly carbon farming, is increasing issues with pests for neighbouring farms. We want to get more detailed info about this to inform our advocacy to Government. Please complete our survey – it should take less than 15 minutes and information about your experiences will help us understand changes in pest patterns and support our advocacy on issues like carbon farming, pest control, and forestry management.
