There’s scope to nominate an area you wish to care for and work independently on. Training on weed recognition and weed control can be arranged. Some equipment may also be available. This weekend we will work on the south side of the estuary targeting moth plant which is currently flowering Every pod on a moth plant has 5000+ seeds which can spread 40km on the wind, so naturally we want to avoid them getting to that stage Start time 9am Park at the bottom end of Exmouth St, Northcote = Heath Reserve Walk across the grass to the estuary and along the track where you will find us and moth plant!!
