Join Granite Borders Landcare and our experts in Tenterfield Park (Derby Street) as we walk and talk all about weeds…

This is a MUST HAVE SKILL for ALL LAND CARERS.  We will learn:

• How to identify exotic versus native weeds
• Different weed identification techniques
• How these weeds might impact on our native flora & fauna and even our primary producers
• The identification of ‘typical’ and readily found weeds in our region (and what are our priorities….)
• Best practice methods of control: how to control ‘identified’ weeds safely & effectively and what permits are required
• Discussion on essential tools for the ‘shed’
• Useful techniques including monitoring & resources that are available locally and online

# This is an outdoor activity so please dress appropriately
