A weed can be described as a plant growing outside its natural environment and having some sort of adverse impact. The majority of weeds have come from overseas but some Australian native plants may also become weedy outside their natural range.\u00a0Here is some information about some of the most invasive weeds in the Bega Valley Shire. For information on other weeds in the Shire, visit Council’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Weeds in Wet Areas Workshop with Stuart Cameron
\n<\/strong>\u2018Weed\u2019 too readily translates as \u2018bad\u2019 and the reflexive response is \u2018weed – remove it!\u2019, and we often leap into action without further reflection.<\/p>\n

These notes from Stuart Cameron’s workshop discuss this landscape as it is, as it was, as it might become. There is as much work to be done in our heads as in the landscape. And much of this work must be done before we ever pick up a mattock or a spray gun.<\/p>\n
