It's weed control time!
Blackberry is one of the top weeds worrying people in South Gippsland.

If you have blackberry on your property and you want expert advice on the best ways to manage it, please come along to this free event.

Our key speaker Dr Robin Air from the Victorian Blackberry Taskforce has 30 plus years experience in research and control of invasive weeds. He has extensive knowledge in the use of pesticides and fire as a management tool. While this event has a blackberry focus Robin's vast experience means he can offer advice on how to manage almost any weed so please bring along your weed and your weed questions.
Weather permitting we will also have a drone demonstration.

We will also hear from local framer Jackie Checkley who practices regen ag and does not use chemicals on her farm. Learn more about why weeds are growing and steps you can take to control them organically.

Katie Robinson and Luke Vinton from Agriculture Victoria will speak about weed classifications, the role Ag Vic has in biosecurity and the enforcement of weed control legislation.

Lunch and refreshments provided. Please email kirby@sgln.net.au if you have any dietary requirements

This event is supported through funding from the Victorian Governments "Partnerships Against Pests" program
