That's a good idea. I can empty the plastic bags that people discard in the park when no-one is watching.

Or get a dog on a tether line to spend the night in the park and encourage people to walk their dogs through the park and move dog droppings into the park.

If you are unlucky, one hare can snip off hundreds of seedlings in a night without eating them. I dont know why they do that. So one bad hare can be worse than several rabbits. Until you get tree guards or fencing done, shooting is probably not an option in the streets of Aranda. As for trapping, they are generally careful, wary animals, so I have never heard of anyone trapping one, but it might be worth a try anyway, hoping you get lucky. If so, I'd work hard at it. Get the tallest cage trap you can, so the ears of the hare cant touch the top. Wash all scent off the trap and other gear and wear gardening gloves (with smells of dirt and plants on them) for handling EVERYTHING. Use a variety of succulent plant materials as bait and cross your fingers a lot.

We had only recently removed the tree guards thinking the young plants were now big enough to cope with weather events, will have to replace them now.

@KMcCue Hare is the most delicious meat I have ever tried, but maybe tree guards and fences are easier.
