Conservation

Conservation in WA is limited to taking feral and pest animals on private property with the landowner’s permission.

Only a current “open” firearms licence is required to hunt on private property. There is no permit or fee applicable. The following animals are some of the feral species that can be regularly taken in Western Australia: Rabbits, hares, foxes, pigs, wild dogs, goats, camels, donkeys, wild horse and wild cattle.


Does SSAA (WA) have Paid Conservation Holiday Properties?

No.

Conservation and Wildlife Management

We also have Conservation and Wildlife Management Groups who work with the Department of Parks and Wildlife, Department of Agriculture and Food WA, Recognised Biosecurity Groups, Catchment Councils and declared species groups to provide assistance with pest animal control programs.

Our Conservation and Wildlife Management Groups have stringent training and assessment programs for applicants.

To find out more about this program go to About Conservation & Wildlife Management.

There are various dedicated CWM Clubs around WA, Find a Conservation & Wildlife Management Club here.


SSAA Farmer Assist

The SSAA Farmer Assist program has been developed to enable farmers with wildlife management issues to seek the assistance of members.

SSAA members who participate in this program have all achieved a skill competency equivalent to professional shooter training and have committed to operating under a code of practice that demands safety, animal welfare and ethical behaviour.

You will find more details on this program at www.farmerassist.com.au

Red Card for Rabbits and Foxes Community Fox Shoots

Red Card for Rabbits and Foxes is a community based feral animal management program that operates across the agricultural regions of Western Australia. SSAA (WA) is a proud sponsor of these events, donating $5 for every cat and fox culled during the events. Last year we donated nearly $13,000 to the Regional Men’s Health Initiative.

Local coordinators take on the role as volunteers, and they engage, assist and support land managers to bait and shoot foxes and rabbits on their own properties, with the assistance of a central coordinator.
