Good news on weeds

October 20, 2004 ·  

Weeds are a major menace throughout Australia. In this area we’re plagued with blackberries along stream banks, also black knapweed and broom. The problem sometimes appears so big that you wonder if it can ever be fixed.

I was involved today with a positive effort to do something substantial at the local level. A number of government agencies,
businesses and community groups have come together to form the Upper Ovens Weeds Roundtable.

The group is planning a combined effort to eradicate weeds and revegetate areas where weeds are removed. There are some immediate works planned and it’s hoped to eventually create a walking track along the river between Bright and Porepunkah.
