HOSTED by Up2Us Landcare in late February, local landholders were given the opportunity to talk all things woody weeds.
Guest speaker Cam Patterson gave a demonstration on best practice weed spraying, using the right chemicals, the right equipment, safety and timing to get on top of weeds like blackberry and briar rose.
"Thank you to all who attended and to our host for providing the beautiful setting," said Rhiannon Quigley, Up2Us project officer.
"The information session highlighted the need for a strategic, multi-year approach to reduce woody weed loads."
For the past seven years, Up2Us Landcare Alliance has received funding from the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority through funding from the State Government and Victorian Landcare Program, to support landholders in the shire tackle their woody weeds.
