Join us for an informative and hands-on workshop dedicated to controlling Serrated Tussock in the Moorabool region. Hosted by the Moorabool Catchment Landcare Group (MCLG) in collaboration with the Partnerships Against Pests (PAP) program and the Victorian Serrated Tussock Working Party (VSTWP), this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage this invasive weed effectively.

The workshop will kick off at 10:00 am with introductions by Jackson Cass, including an Acknowledgement of Country, a welcome to participants, and an overview of the collaboration between PAP, MCLG, and VSTWP. Following this, our guest speaker Ivan Carter will present on the history, impacts, legal status/requirements, and identification of Serrated Tussock.

Lunch will be provided to participants, providing a chance for general discussion among participants.

Participants will receive a laminated A2 printout of their property to map Serrated Tussock infestations and assist in property management. Photos of each completed property map will be taken for mapping purposes with the landholder's consent. MCLG will work with landholders who complete this mapping component to potentially obtaining funding in 2025 to assist them with on-ground control of Serrated Tussock.

The workshop will conclude with a property visit where we will have a practical demonstration of Serrated Tussock herbicide control from a professional contractor.

Special Features:

Interactive sessions with expert speakers
Hands-on plant identification and mapping activities
Networking opportunities with other landholders and experts
Laminated A2 property maps provided to assist in property planning
Opportunity to obtain grant funding in 2025 to assist with on-ground control works

This workshop is an invaluable opportunity to learn effective strategies for managing Serrated Tussock and to connect with a supportive community of landholders and experts. Don’t miss out on this chance to enhance your skills and knowledge in invasive weed control.
