Wilding pine spread is very predictable. With improved techniques, the invasive spread can be managed.
The unchecked spread of wilding pines can pose a real risk to biodiversity, landscape and recreational values. Guidelines are available on safe and efficient control.
Bad news for weeds
Weeds are one of the biggest threats to our native biodiversity so when QEII reps are out doing their monitoring rounds they like to deal to the trickier ones on the spot if they can. Here QEII rep Trevor Thompson attacks a feral plum using Cut'n'Paste, a glysophate-based brush-on herbicide gel.
New Zealand-based company Landman Ltd is collaborating with QEII in the fight against weeds. In an exchange agreement it has given QEII supplies of its Cut'n'Paste herbicide for reps to use in covenants. For more information about the product go to the Cut'n'Paste website.
