Identify. Manage. Protect.

Serrated tussock is a highly invasive grass that can spread quickly and impact agricultural land, native vegetation and local ecosystems.

As part of the Weeds Action Fund initiative, a practical field workshop will be delivered by Axel Meiss to support Council and NRM staff, as well as local Landcare groups, in identifying and managing serrated tussock and other weedy grasses.
Participants will learn how to identify serrated tussock in the field and gain practical experience with manual management techniques.
