Dung Beetle Surveys

This season has been different from those of past years, what has this meant for your dung beetles? 

In 2008-2009, the Dairy Action Program provided 67 dung beetle colonies to landholders for release across the district. 

Click here to see a map showing what species were released where.

Now we'd like to hear from you how they're faring...

So kick over some cow pats and give us a call to let us know what you find, or even bring in a sample for id.
