African Olive Pathways Focus for Local Councils and Local Land Services
A joint push is being made by councils and Local Land Services to target mature African Olive that has formed established ‘pathways’ along specific roadsides in the Harpers Hill, Greta, Branxton and Belford areas.
A cross-boundary effort to address these infestations of African olive is underway in Maitland, Cessnock and Singleton council areas.
Matt Kennedy, Hunter LLS Regional Weeds Coordinator said African Olive is a regional priority weed for the Hunter and is recognised as a significant threat to remnant native bushland areas and can dominate hillsides and spread into paddock areas.
