Weeding

 

Exotic weeds are a problem on Rottnest and the Rottnest Island Authority (RIA) has a strategy for controlling existing infestations, and in some cases, eradication. Members and friends of The Rottnest Society take part in this programme, usually on one weekend per year.  We can claim to have made a real contribution to bringing under control the weed commonly known as 'sea spurge' (euphorbia paraliasis). which is becoming as serious pest at the tops of beaches around our southern coast.  We usually plan such a weekend in October or November of each year.

If you would like to be informed about this activity please email us at general@rottnestsociety.org.auOr contact us on  08 9438 1413 or 0411 880 199 to give us your postal address.
