Over the last year or so Wheatbelt
NRM has been mapping and eradicating Bridal Creeper and Small Flower
Tamarisk infestations along the Avon River - and we are now looking to
share our new knowledge and useful experiences from these activities
with the wider community.
How do you get a handle on invasive weeds growing along a major watercourse?
What do you do when you find a nasty infestation of Bridal Creeper (Asparagus asparagoides) climbing over your back fence?

Does the Avon community need to tackle Weeds of National Significance like Bridal Creeper and Small Flower Tamarisk (Tamarisk parviflora) growing along the Avon River?
