BUSTING BLACKBERRIES IN SENSITIVE AREAS

Join Dr Robin Adair, ecological consultant and vegetation manager, and Kiewa Catchment Landcare Groups for a practical half-day workshop on effective and sustainable blackberry management in sensitive areas.

With a focus on protecting natural ecosystems, Robin will share his expertise in managing invasive species in challenging environments. If you have a creek, wet area or patch of native vegetation on your property affected by blackberries, this workshop is for you.

Blackberries threaten our environment, agricultural production and cultural heritage, making them a challenge for the whole community. With the right knowledge and management techniques, however, they can be effectively controlled while minimising impacts on surrounding vegetation and waterways.

This FREE half-day workshop will cover best-practice approaches to managing blackberries in sensitive areas, including a practical demonstration of blackberry treatment along a waterway.

Everyone welcome. Morning tea and a light lunch provided. Bookings essential.
