A Word of Caution about Weed Removal

by

We are all worried about environmental weeds in the Moggill Creek Catchment and we are continually on the lookout for the best way to control them.


There is continuing concern regarding operators who use heavy machinery to remove environmental weeds. The use of excavators or other heavy equipment can cause enormous damage to existing native species, particularly on sloping land and when there is heavy rainfall.

For further details and advice about weed removal, please read the article below, authored by MCCG’s Landcare Advisor Bryan Hacker. It was published in The Local Bulletin some time ago but the message remains as relevant and critical as ever – exercise extreme caution when removing exotic weeds from your property and plan your revegetation carefully!
