Identifying Weeds |
20 May 2009 5:52 PM
While I was visiting the NSW south coast a week or two ago I came across a handy little booklet at one of the Visitor Information Centre's in the region.Simply titled "Weeds of the NSW South Coast", it is an excellent little (50 page) identification guide covering noxious and environmental weeds. On looking through the booklet, I immediately recognised many weeds that occur near where I live in western Sydney, so the booklet is obviously of wider interest than just the south coast of NSW.
For each weed described, the booklet has a short descriiption, information on the method of dispersal, "look alikes" and advice on control methods.
Copies are probably available from the Shoalhaven and Eurobodalla Councils, but it turns out that there is a companion web site for the booklet which can be found here. The website seems to include all of the information in the booklet plus a bit more.
