Safe wildlife netting
As of September 2021, it become illegal to sell or use netting on domestic fruit trees unless the netting holes were no bigger than 5mm by 5mm fully stretched.
Illegal netting with holes larger than 5mm by 5mm can cause wildlife to become entangled and trapped in it. Most birds and animals (including the threatened grey-headed flying fox) trapped in these nets will need to be euthanised as their injuries can be very severe.
