Rabbits: A threat to conservation & natural resource management

It takes less than one rabbit per hectare to prevent the successful regeneration of many of our common native trees and shrubs.  This means that many rabbit-infested patches of remnant native vegetation can't sustain themselves naturally and are therefore in slow decline - but unfortunately this often goes unnoticed.

Whether you are a land-owner who conserves some uncleared woodland on your farm or belong to a Landcare group managing vegetation along a road side, this quick assessment method will help you decide if rabbits are a problem and what action you need to take.
