Rabbits are in near plaque proportion along the foreshore reserve area of Tambo Bay causing severe erosion and plant damage. Lower Tambo Landcare is working with DSE and local landholders to conduct a coordinated campaign to reduce rabbit numbers in this area.

Landholders along Hardys Rd whose properties run to the Lake Foreshore have started a Pindone baiting program. This will be complemented by DSE contractors spraying, then removing the weeds on the foreshore reserve to give access to warrens. These can then be gassed and sealed. We are also working with E Gippsland Water and residents of Tambo Bay estate to conduct a Pindone baiting program in their area. Members of Lower Tambo Landcare who have a rabbit problem are provided with Pindone at no cost to them.
