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

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
