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 our Leneva Castle Creek Landcare Group coordinators.
There are two sessions to the events outlined below.
- Plant giveaway for LCC members: 10am-11am
- Woody weeds workshop: 11am-2pm
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.
Additionally, to get you started or to continue you on your revegetation journey, as a part of this workshop we are also giving away free plants to Leneva Castle Creek Landcare Group members! Not a member? No worries! For just $20 you can join the group by following this link.
