About the event
Boneseed Blitz week is back again in 2023. Â
Boneseed is an invasive weed of national significance. It invades natural areas and out-competes native plants. It can invade the understorey of bushland, reduce biodiversity and become a fire hazard.
Help control boneseed in the Tamar Valley by:
- Joining us at one of the organised events (see below)
- Setting up a Boneseed Blitz event with your group
- Removing boneseed from your property AND
- Report any sightings to Tamar NRM on 03 6323 3310 or 0456 853 445
