Eleebana cane toad spotted

Hunter Local Land Services has asked Eleebana residents to be on the lookout for the toads.

Since the cane toad started spreading west and south from its North Queensland home, there have been several sightings across the Hunter.

Cane toads are a serious invasive pest, which would have devastating impacts on biodiversity if allowed to establish in the region.

If residents spot a cane toad they are asked to photograph the animal and report it to NSW Department of Primary Industries via dpi.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity.

Or send an email to invasive.species@dpi.nsw.gov.au.
