Hi Lexihoward
thanks for recording the Curse. Our little Friends of Mt Majura crew worked hard to reduce the Curse but this year the weeds are overwhelming. We did weed control on the northwest slope and the good news is that you recorded a low abundance of 1-3 where there were hundreds if not thousands in early spring before we started weed control. If you walk there regularly would you mind to pick the Curse if there are only a few, place in a bag and deposit in a bin? There are also bags at the Tay Street nature park entrance where you could deposit the weeds.
many thanks
