Richard did you remove the plant or is it still there?

I'm not familiar with how ACT deals with fireweed so I left it as was, it is still there.

I can go and take it out tomorrow morning if that helps.

I've removed the plant and have recorded the removal on Collector.

Thanks Silke much appreciated the invasive species team say they are monitoring this site and have taken action on Fireweed before, but I am not sure how regular or attentively they are monitoring so I think if we able to control an infestation soon after it s reported that is the best approach
