Colossal crew tracks down environmental invader in Camden
A two-day, multi-agency operation has recently uncovered six new frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum) infestations in the Camden Council local government area following detection of the invasive, smothering waterweed at three Rossmore sites in October this year.
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) State Priority Weeds coordinator, Nicola Dixon, said a total of nine infestations of the weed, which poses a serious threat to our environment, have now been found in Rossmore, Bringelly, Leppington and Catherine Field.
“Teams from NSW DPI, Greater Sydney Local Land Services (LLS), Hawkesbury River County, Camden, Liverpool, Campbelltown, Lane Cove, Strathfield, Illawarra and Wingecaribee Councils worked together to survey 438 properties,” Ms Dixon said.
