Woody weed control workshop

Is your backyard harbouring invasive weeds?

Lots of unsuspecting locals have woody weeds growing in their gardens, which can easily escape and wreak havoc on the environment.

This workshop is a great opportunity to learn about woody weed identification and practical control methods.

Hear from the Bangerang Ngalan Bitja Ranger Team who will demonstrate some of the tools and methods they use to take out some of the worst weeds in Australia.

Free BBQ lunch provided by Wangaratta Landcare and Sustainability.

Bring the kids along for some school holiday fun with nature-based activities including pyrography (decorative wood burning) and water bug sampling.

This activity is jointly funded by the Australian Government's Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program, the Victorian Government, and Melbourne Water, under the guidance of the Arthur Rylah Institute (ARI), with the support of One Tree Planted, City of Ballarat, Coliban Water, Zoos Victoria and Catchment Management Authorities.

The project is also collaborating with North East Catchment Management Authority, Bangerang Aboriginal Corporation, Wangaratta Landcare and Sustainability and Rural City of Wangaratta.
