Join Landcare Illawarra project officer Richard Scarborough for a workshop to help you further develop skills around identifying the differences between native plants and weed look-a-likes.
We will be visiting the old Corrimal colliery which is now privately owned and being rehabilitated by the landholder with support from Landcare Illawarra.
The site has a range of weed invasion issues. Vegetation is in a range of conditions due to past usage and frequent deer invasion.
The workshop will include:
9.30am – Cup of tea and registration
10am-12.30pm – Walk and talk covering topics on
- Weed ID
- Native plant ID
- Deer management issues in bush regeneration
12.30-1.15pm – Lunch
1.15-2.15pm – Rainforest bushwalk
Participants will be given free weed ID booklets and a species list to learn and check against and note any weed look-a-likes on the day.
Lunch will be provided
When: Saturday November 3
Time: 9.30am – 2.15pm
Where: Meeting location will be provided upon registration
