P2.10Develop and deliver a weed swap initiative

A weed swap initiative was implemented at the beginning of June 2022, with residents being offered indigenous tube stock vouchers to replace environmental weeds in their garden.

Environmental weeds are often common garden plants that invade natural bushland and displace local plants and animals. They compete with local plants for light, nutrients, and water, and provide poor habitat for wildlife.

Our environmental weeds booklet has information on the most serious environmental weeds currently threatening local biodiversity, and how you can identify, remove, and replace them.
