I visited this site in the spring of 2014, see Nearby sightings. It was a very nice patch with plenty of native forbs and no SJW. Now it is dominated by weeds, especially SJW.

Hi Waltraud. Click on the icon at the top of the page, to the right of the little clock.

Great, many thanks MichaelBedingfield I used the "radius tool" in the past to see nearby sightings but that doesn't work anymore.

FYI, the Nearby sightings list all sightings within a radius of 100 metres from this one.

Thanks https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/8083. Do you know whether the brown patches visible in the background are treated StJW?

Hi Waltraud, I think they may be. There seems that some work has been done on the hill.

Oh good! that was at least the plan discussed at a 2024/25 mtg with Office of Nature Conservation, PCS and reps of Urambi Hills, FoMM and Ainslie Weeders parkcare groups...

While there is still a lot of SJW on Urambi, there are very large patches that are totally brown.

Same on Mt Majura; this is another good StJW season! it always surprises me that StJW was assessed a moderate environmental risk species...
