South East Weeds Action Program Protecting Priority Sites - Monaro 1

The project will commence a management program to control weed infestations impacting sites with threatened species and ecological communities in the Monaro area to support the South East Weeds Action Program. Ten sites totalling more than 450 hectares have been initially identified and may be expanded if necessary. The sites are typically characterised by natural temperate grassland, box-gum woodland and/or endangered plants being invaded by a range of weed species including Serrated tussock and African lovegrass. The project objective is to protect threatened species and communities through targeted on-ground control supported by detailed mapping and monitoring.
