This presentation explores how the Gecko Clan, created a pathway for support, community and practical action through solving the wild dog predation. Through substantial research, planning and by securing funding, two successful fence styles that work are now in place, which anyone can pick up and use on their properties. Thanks to several federal grants across two years, the project has erected over 40km of wild dog proof fencing that has protected the bottom line of farming enterprises from the impact of predation. By engaging with all sectors of government – local, state and federal – the project has shown that not only the landholder but the whole community can benefit and community needs can be met.Presenter: Kerri Robson.Powerpoint Slideshow: Who Kept the Dogs Out?
