 Stopping
NSW's weed crisis
After land clearing, weeds are recognised as the most serious
threat to endangered native plants and animals in NSW.
This
threat is rapidly increasing as more weed species are introduced
and spread into new areas.
More
than 30 environment groups, bush carers, councils and volunteer
organisations have backed a report released by the Invasive
Species Council calling on the NSW Government to deal with
the state's growing weed crisis. The Friends have donated
$200 towards this important project.
