LANDHOLDERS are invited to join a webinar that will discuss how a coordinated and prioritised approach can treat invasive weeds and pest animals on public land, where it adjoins private land.
Invasive weeds and animals have a significant impact on Victoria's natural environment.
The Good Neighbour Program is run by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) and Parks Victoria (PV).
Each year over 200 Good Neighbour projects are delivered across Victoria targeting Gorse, Rabbit, Blackberry, Fox, Serrated Tussock, Prickly Pear, and many other species along the public / private boundary.
Mel Birleson – Good Neighbour Project Officer, DEECA, will present on how the Good Neighbour Program complements your weed and pest control efforts to prevent the spread of invasive species, protect your property, and sustain our natural environmental assets.
