Sweet Pittosporum - Managing an Emerging Weed of Southern Australia

This project will implement a programme of weed control to improve the biodiversity of Eucalyptus obliqua woodlands of the Central Mount Lofty Ranges (around 30,000ha) in SA. Specifically, the project will investigate suitable control methods for Sweet Pittosporum (a weed of national significance) and allow the regeneration of native bushland on private and public land in the region. Local landowners, NRM and landcare groups will be educated on the benefits of this project and how the weed control methods be incorporated into better land management practices.
