Weed control works next on the list

NPWS continues to monitor the areas where hazard reduction burns have been completed previously to protect the assets of Seal Rocks village.

After a fire, the germination of weeds is most prolific within the first 1-2 years. With native plants germinating a little slower, this is the prime time for weed control programs to take advantage of the better access before the native plants thrive. Retreatment of weeds is best completed before the weeds can produce seed.

NPWS will be working with weed contractors over the next few months to complete essential weed control works along fire trails behind the seal rocks village.

A weed contractor will be accessing the fire trail with a vehicle to complete these works by June 2016.
