The Northern Rivers faces damaging deer population
Feral deer captured at night by trail cameras.
Council has joined forces with Lismore and Kyogle councils, and the Tweed and Border Ranges-Richmond Valley Landcare groups, to launch ‘The Northern Rivers is on Feral Deer Alert’ program.
This community awareness campaign aims to prevent feral deer numbers growing out of control in the region, before it’s too late.
The campaign asks the Northern Rivers community to stay on feral deer alert, while they’re out and about, bush walking, driving or managing their property, and to report any feral deer sightings.
