NQ Dry Tropics NRM presents, Woody weed eradication training, 18 November.

Join Dr Vic Galea from the University of Queensalnd – one of Australia’s leading experts on woody weed control for a hands-on training session you won’t want to miss.

  • rubbervine

  • prickly acacia
  • mimosa pigra

  • leucaena.

These methods improve safety by reducing chemical handling and environmental risk.
