A big thank you to all the students and teachers at North Dandalup Primary School for having us!

We had a fantastic time learning about declared pests together. Students impressed us with their knowledge, from identifying animal calls, tracks and scats, to completing the fruit fly life cycle, spotting PSHB damage, discussing pest animal impacts, and checking out the tools landholders use to manage declared pests. Great work, everyone!

Special thanks also to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for supplying the PSHB rulers.
