Herbaceous Weed Control Workshop

Herbaceous weeds are more than just a nuisance, they pose serious threats to our landscapes. These invasive plants can take over pastures, outcompete native species, shelter pest animals, and reduce the productivity of both farmland and natural areas.

Join Wodonga Urban Landcare Network and Wodonga Council for a practical workshop designed to help landholders in peri-urban areas tackle herbaceous weeds effectively. Learn how to identify priority species and apply proven control techniques as part of a broader, collaborative approach to weed management across the region.

What you’ll learn:

• How herbaceous weeds impact biodiversity, agriculture, and waterways

• How to identify common and priority weeds in our region, including:

  • Paterson’s Curse

  • St Barnaby’s Thistle

  • Wild Watsonia

  • Chilean Needle Grass

  • African Lovegrass

  • St John’s Wort

• Best practice control methods: manual, mechanical, chemical, and biological

• The importance of safe and effective herbicide use

• Ideas for the most effective control strategies on your property

• Local case studies and success stories

• Hands-on guidance in identifying herbaceous weeds in the field

Please contact rhiannon@wodongalandcare.org.au if you have any questions.
