Fruit Tree Net Swap – November 15 Pickup (Yarra residents only)
Spring is the perfect time to think about what netting you might be planning to use on your fruit trees or garden beds. Is it legal and safe for our wildlife? To check, try poking a finger through the mesh, can your finger pass through? If yes, then it’s too big and shouldn’t be used.
Yarra residents are invited to bring along old illegal nets during this National Recycling Week event in exchange for a free legal net. This event is part of a Victorian Net Swap pilot in collaboration with other local councils and the Conservation Regulator.
This program is a partnership between the Conservation Regulator, Zoos Victoria, RSPCA, and five local councils (including Yarra).
