Local Matters - Increased funding available for community weed control

Increased funding available for community weed control If invasive weeds are a problem in your neighbourhood, there is a bunch of funding to help tackle the problem – double the amount available last year. Local not-for-profit organisation Restore Hibiscus & Bays is on a mission to bring together, support and grow the network of community groups working in environmental conservation throughout the area. This includes obtaining funding, which it passes on to groups and individuals who want to carry out pest plant control in a place that is special to them. Last year a total of $20,000 funding was allocated to the region for small projects. It went to two projects locally – $2400 to support Hibiscus Coast Forest & Bird’s Pest Free programme, and $3000 for a contractor to control invasive weeds in Fairhaven walkway.
