Health and safety, hunter ethics and animal welfare are key values that underpin all of our activities.<\/p>\n

Bushfire and drought conditions have placed our native flora and fauna under threat of extinction. This is in addition to the significant threat posed by pests like feral cats, which are the leading driver of extinction for our native animals.<\/p>\n

Strict management practices and guidelines are implemented for each and every activity through the development of specific wildlife management plans, protocols, adherence to industry best practice standard operating procedures. Licensed hunters in NSW must also follow a mandatory Code of Practice<\/a> to ensure ethical, safe and responsible hunting takes place.<\/p>\n

With over 62,000 members, SSAA NSW Ltd has the capacity to meet demand and remove the threat of feral animals in a strategic and timely manner.<\/p>\n

SSAA NSW Ltd works with stakeholders in the development and delivery of a property specific wildlife management plan.
\nThis involves the monitoring and strategic management of pest species to aid in ensuring the key stone species being bred on the park could be released into large, semi-wild fenced enclosures free from feral animals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Wild Deer” tab_id=”1581394083979-8d01f36c-0b12d658-b911″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Hastings Wild Deer Management Project participation enabled SSAA NSW Ltd and the local Port Macquarie Branch to develop management
\nstrategies for local landowners at the request of the North Coast Local Land Services (LLS).
\nSSAA NSW Ltd developed a set of management protocols that also included an accreditation about hunting and conservation with assessments in practical marksmanship, map reading and GPS use.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”National Parks” tab_id=”1536655406378-6657b8cb-a5d8bac3-d0dfd658-b911″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

SSAA NSW Ltd was the only trusted hunting organisation to take on the Supplementary Pest Control (SPC) program.
\nThe program delivers positive outcomes as part of an integrated pest management strategy, under controlled conditions, in the state’s national parks and other reserves.
\nVolunteers must undergo an assessment and accreditation process. Further information about how to become involved will be released soon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
