Local Land Services NSW is undertaking a feral pig survey and Roy Butler MP says getting involved will help LLS tackle the feral pig problem

Local Land Services NSW is conducting an online survey, looking at the impact of pigs on agricultural and environmental assets.

"Feral pigs are a huge problem in many parts of the state, including across Barwon," Member for Barwon Roy Butler MP said.

"But the more we know about numbers, spread, and what impact pigs are having on the land, the better equipped we will be to approach the problem."

"This survey aims to evaluate the level of feral pig impacts on agricultural and environmental assets on your property," an LLS spokesperson said.

"The information gathered in this survey will be used to help improve the effectiveness of control programs and ensure LLS can provide you with the best support possible."

Mr Butler met with the grassroots lobbyists behind the recent Pig Bounty Trial, in support of a state-wide bounty.

"It was great to meet the team behind the Pig Bounty Trial recently, in Tottenham," Mr Butler said.

"This is the Tottenham NSW Farmers branch and Mayor of the Lachlan Shire - The Heart of NSW, John Medcalf.

"While I went to Tottenham to talk pig bounties, we ended up discussing a whole range of issues in the area.

"The Land Management Code and native veg mapping also came up as an issue. The incorrect mapping is impacting local farmers, and it needs to be ground-truthed.

"This is something I will keep working on.

And of course, we discussed the successful pig bounty trial conducted by the Tottenham NSW Farmers, the Local Land Services NSW and the Australian Pig Doggers and Hunters Association.

"Premier Chris Minns has spoken positively about a bounty program for pest species.

"I will continue to support such initiatives in discussions with the Premier."
