The Working with Wildlife team has recently completed another successful 3 day Catch & Relocate Venomous Snakes course, this time with staff from Parks, Conservation and Lands in the A.C.T.
The Canberra Times did an article whilst we were up there, where Parks A.C.T. staff and Julian Craig from Working with Wildlife were interviewed on the subject of snakes, things you can do to discourage snakes from coming onto your property and ways to reduce the chances of being bitten by a snake if you happen to come into contact with one - have a read of the article via this link.
Thank you to all the staff at Parks A.C.T. - it is always a pleasure conducting courses for people who are keen to learn correct snake handling and relocation techniques.
For anyone who may come into contact with snakes now that the weather is beginning to warm up, please take a moment to have a look at the Working with Wildlife website - with the various handling courses, awareness sessions and equipment we have available, you will find everything you need to be better prepared for an increase in snakes in your area.
