23.01.2022 It was fantastic chatting with Voice FM in Ballarat a few weeks ago. Thanks very much to Peter and Chris for having me #gorse #invasivespecies #radio #ballarat

23.01.2022 SEED PODS Do you know what to look for? Have you seen these densely haired, black oblong pods on your gorse? Each pod contains 2 - 6 seeds and the pods form over the summer months but some areas of Victoria already have them! That’s why it’s extra important not to move around any gorse you treat because you could spread gorse across your property #gorse #invasivespecies #weeds #weedmanagement
