Living with Lovegrass

Redgrass African lovegrass mix.
‘Living with Lovegrass’ a forum designed around learning from each other on how to manage African Lovegrass was held at the Namadgi Visitor Centre on Saturday 22nd May.
Around sixty people attended the forum and it was interesting to hear the range of views expressed about lovegrass. Some graziers expressed the view that lovegrass is here, cattle can use it, so perhaps we are better off devoting resources to Serrated Tussock. Others thought that lovegrass is potentially our worst environmental and agricultural weed species. Whatever the view there is no denying African lovegrass is a highly persistent, summer growing, perennial grass weed that is invading rural properties, urban parklands and roadsides and nature reserves across our region.

With a $5000 grant provided by the Australian Government through the ACT Natural Resources Management Council, the Southern ACT Catchment Group has purchased a heavy-duty trailer for use in transporting spray equipment by landholders in the Lanyon bowl area in southern ACT, for serrated tussock control.
