Macquarie Valley & Lachlan Valley

NSW & ACT Serrated Tussock Coordinator

The NSW & ACT Serrated Tussock Working Party together with Mid-Western Regional Council were recently successful in gaining grant funds to employ a state coordinator of serrated tussock. Clare Hamilton has since been employed in the position. Her main role will be to quantify the current impact of serrated tussock and some of the successful management options being implemented.

She hopes to work with a range of organizations including Regional Weeds Advisory Committees, Local and State Government, catchment management authorities and landcare to prepare and implement integrated natural resource plans that focus on serrated tussock reduction.

Raising awareness of serrated tussock, its identification and potential to cause significant economic and environmental problems, will be a key component of the project.
