CRC Forestry research into alternative management strategies to mitigate mammal browsing damage in plantationsFact sheet 2, July 2005. Researchers have been investigating alternatives to 1080 poisoning at the CRC for Temperate Hardwood Forestry and CRC for Sustainable Production Forestry for the last 10 years. In this time significant research outcomes have been presented that may offer some alternative strategies to mammal browsing control. Any one of these alternative strategies used in isolation may not be as effective as current control strategies.
