Have you seen feral deer or other pest animals on your property?

Your sightings can make a real difference. By recording what you see in FeralScan, you’re helping protect local farms, native wildlife and the health of our landscapes. You can also record evidence of the animal-like tracks, scat or damage.

FeralScan is a free app and website where you can quickly log sightings of deer, goats, pigs, foxes, rabbits and other pest species. Every report builds a clearer picture of where these animals are and how their populations are changing.

By taking a minute to upload your sighting, you’re contributing to a regional record that helps guide targeted control programs and reduce the impacts of pest animals on agriculture and biodiversity.

Seen something? Record it today.
