Weeds have wide-ranging impacts on our environment, agriculture, and communities. They degrade native bushland, threaten biodiversity, harbour pest animals, and reduce agricultural productivity. Join us for this workshop to learn how to identify and control woody weeds on your property or patch and opportunities for coordinated, landscape-scale action.
This workshop will be held at Leneva Hall where we will be joined by Jo Vincent from Wodonga Urban Landcare Network and the Leneva Castle Creek Landcare Group coordinators.
What you’ll learn:
- How weeds impact biodiversity, agriculture, and waterways
- How to identify common and priority weeds in our region
- Best practice control methods: manual, mechanical, chemical & biological
- Safe and effective herbicide use
- Local case studies and success stories
We will then hold a field visit to a local rehabilitation site for those interested in joining.
Please register if you plan to attend or would like to find out about the plant giveaway for members of Leneva Castle Creek Landcare group.
Please contact rhiannon@wodongalandcare.org.au if you have any questions.
This event is the fourth workshop in our workshop series ‘Growing capacity against invasives on small blocks’ which is supported by the Victorian Government through the Partnerships Against Pests program. We will be hosting two more events this year on herbaceous weeds and blackberries.
