25 volunteer hours of moth plant control have been carried out over the first 2 weeks of January. The aim is to remove the vines before the flowers turn into pods.
This weed is a massive problem in the Leigh area and we are working in conjunction with Coastal Care group and STAMP to control as many large infestations as possible.

We have also been continuing to clear climbing asparagus to ensure the seeds don’t get dispersed by birds.

Both of these strangling vines can cause canopy collapse of our precious forest remnants if left to take hold.
