- Peri-urban Weed Management Study - rural lifestyle landowners are often limited their ability to respond to weed issues on their properties. These limitations are due to a lack of awareness, lack of knowledge of the problem, different value sets from those of traditional rural landowners, and a lack of time and resources. This study makes recommendation for addressing weed management on small properties.
- Willow Management Strategy for the Upper Murrumbidgee - Yet another willows document ... but this one is different. The scene is set and a little historical background is added. Then there is a natural history of willows in eastern Australia and the behaviours that make them weedy. The reader is engaged with both local ‘what needs to be done’ and ‘who else has similar problems’ in a readable way with plenty of meaty information. Read this willows document! You will come away well informed and with realistic expectations about willows management.
