User's notes

After years of unsuccessfully lobbying and requesting the Government to control weeds in the Valour memorial park, particularly those species with fluffy seeds such as Prickly lettuce and Fleabane, this years' Prickly lettuce and Fleabane crop in the nature reserve east of Valour park is too much for volunteers to control (along with 10000 of St John's Wort plants).
