Weed Awareness News

The Australian Weeds Committee has a National Weeds Awareness Action Plan, part of the Australian Weeds Strategy. The objectives of this plan are to heighten awareness about why weeds are a problem, how weeds are spread and how individuals and groups can make a difference to the weed problems here in Australia.

The Action Plan is being implemented with the help of a National Weeds Awareness Coordinator, Andrew Clark who can be contacted by email - Andrew.clark@dpi.qld.gov.au.

Andrew publishes a newsletter, 'Weed Awareness News', approximately bimonthly and these are available for download below:

Weed Awareness News - Issue 1 (PDF - 89kb)
