Rabbit and Hare Control in NSW: Managing Long-Term Land Degradation
European rabbits and hares continue to cause widespread land degradation across NSW. Their burrowing damages infrastructure, while grazing pressure reduces pasture productivity and increases erosion.
Rabbit and hare management is most effective when undertaken as a long-term strategy rather than a single control event. Coordinated programs across neighbouring properties can significantly improve outcomes.
Responsible pest management aims to reduce populations while minimising environmental impact and ensuring humane control practices.
Important Declaration
Any firearm-based rabbit or hare control activities will only be conducted following full NSW regulatory approval and licensing.
