Friday 20 November
9.30am to 1.30pm
Osbornes Flat Hall, Osbornes Flat
Hosted by Kiewa Catchment Landcare Groups
Join Dr Robin Adair, ecological consultant and vegetation manager, and Kiewa Catchment Landcare Groups for a practical half-day workshop on effective and sustainable blackberry management in sensitive areas.
With a focus on protecting natural ecosystems, Robin will share his expertise in managing invasive species in challenging environments. If you have a creek, wet area or patch of native vegetation on your property affected by blackberries, this workshop is for you.
Blackberries threaten our environment, agricultural production and cultural heritage, making them a challenge for the whole community. With the right knowledge and management techniques, however, they can be effectively controlled while minimising impacts on surrounding vegetation and waterways.
This FREE half-day workshop will cover best-practice approaches to managing blackberries in sensitive areas, including a practical demonstration of blackberry treatment along a waterway.
Everyone welcome. Morning tea and a light lunch provided. Bookings essential.
