Aerial Observation for Pest Animal Monitoring: A Non-Invasive Approach

Aerial observation gives landowners a way to build a picture of pest animal activity across paddocks and rural land - important context for anyone managing land at scale. To be clear up front: this is observation only, not control or culling, and every flight stays within CASA rules and any relevant land management regulations.

• Presence and approximate numbers of pest animals across a paddock or block.
• Movement patterns and commonly used tracks or crossing points.
• Damage to vegetation or fencing consistent with pest activity.

An aerial pass doesn't disturb livestock, doesn't require a vehicle crossing difficult or sensitive terrain, and covers a large paddock in a fraction of the time a ground survey would take. For land that's hard to access safely on foot or by vehicle, that's often the difference between getting useful information and not getting it at all.

• This service is observation only - not pest control or culling.
• Aerial passes are quick, non-disruptive, and cover ground a person or vehicle can't easily reach.
• Every flight operates within CASA rules and relevant land management regulations.
