Significant sighting

13 Sep 2023

This part of Tuggeranong Hill NR contains a patch of Yellow Box/Red Gum Grassy Woodland, an endangered ecological community. It was saved from housing development with some effort. I have known the area for some 30 years. It is tragic to see the invasion of these and other nasty woody weeds which were absent 20 years ago.

User's notes

In Tuggeranong Hill Nature Reserve, in the woodland to the south-east of Eaglemont Retreat.

Is there a Parkcare group for Tuggeranong Hill NR that can target these incursive weeds? I know how much effort you put in to save that area from destruction, it needs to be looked after.

Thanks Matthew. The Friends of Tuggeranong Hill do some work on weeds as best they can, but it is a very large area to cover.

This is on the list of Sleeper Weeds (see Announcements) but is still being sold at Bunnings.
