Notice to Recreational Trail Users – Aerial Pest Animal Control Activities (31 Aug – 12 Sep)
The Northern and Yorke Landscape Board will be undertaking aerial pest animal control operations in parts of the Clare Valley from 31 August – 12 September as part of ongoing efforts to reduce the impacts of feral deer and other declared pest animals on the local environment, primary production, and public safety.
These control activities are part of a broader coordinated program being delivered in partnership with private landholders and public land managers to reduce deer numbers and limit their spread across the landscape.
During this period, recreational trail users may notice increased helicopter activity and hear rifle shots in and around sections of the Clare Valley.
Signage will be in place where required, and every effort will be made to minimise disruption to trail access and visitor experience.
Trail users should remain aware of their surroundings during this time and comply with any temporary signage, access restrictions or directions provided by the relevant trail or land manager.
We appreciate the community’s understanding and support as this important work is carried out to help protect the Clare Valley’s landscapes, agricultural assets, and recreational spaces.
Please note; The trail manager or relevant land manager is responsible for determining and implementing any temporary signage, access restrictions or other measures they consider necessary to manage trail user safety during the operation.
