This morning Tom from Nelmac came to talk to us about his job in the Nelmac Nursery and also how he is involved in pest control in our National Parks and bushland.
Tom is taken into the bush by helicopter and left on his own to clear and set traps for pests. He needs to be very fit as he does a lot of walking while looking after the traps.
Tom also works at the Nelmac nursery. He enjoys looking after the plants and brought some natives for us to have a look at and learn about.
