Lots of Landcare groups are trying to help their community implement Pest Management Plans, but it's hard to get the word out to local residents.

Caroline and Jo from Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network came to me with this curly issue and asked if I could help. 

Having to design the training to deal with a specific challenge made it feel even more relevant and useful. 

I created a brand new workshop to help volunteers use their groups' social media platforms to educate and inspire the local community to take action on both plant and animal pest species. 

We called the 2-hr Zoom workshop Smart Socials: Tackling the Pest Problem and had over 30 people registered for the session. Caroline and Jo went the extra mile and attended the workshop dressed as a cat and deer which made everyone smile. They were such good sports!  

So far feedback has been incredibly positive, and I'd love to run this training again for other groups who need support in this area. Please let me know if this sort of training would be useful for your group.
