VRAN Contributes $60K To Help Improve Rabbit Management in Victoria

25 February 2021

We are thrilled to announce VRAN have allocated almost $60, 000 to 14 community groups and organisations across Victoria as part of our Community Grants 2021!

The aim of the VRAN Community Grants is to support coordinated, community-led action across Victoria. As a result of the Community Grants we hope to empower community groups to lead the improvement of their rabbit management programs in order to:

  • increase land managers’ awareness and use of best practice rabbit management;
  • increase the level of community participation and effectiveness of on-ground rabbit control across Victoria; and
  • provide an opportunity for community groups to deliver innovative programs that raise community awareness showing the need for effective control of rabbits in our environment.

We would like to congratulate the following successful applicants and thank them for their commitment to improving rabbit management in Victoria. We are excited to see their innovative projects come to life and we wish them all the best as they put their plans into action!
