The State Government has allocated $2.1million across 17 new projects to tackle pests and weeds including tropical soda apple, wild dogs, harrisia cactus and feral deer.
The projects relevant to our region include:
- Minimising threats to endangered coastal emu populations within the Clarence region from invasive vertebrate pests
- Management of tropical soda apple control
- Improving statewide biosecurity strategic management on Crown Lands
Local Land Services is working on a coordinated effort to control tropical soda apple on different types of public land and neighbouring properties in areas across the North Coast including Tenterfield along the Richmond River and the Upper Macleay at Georges Junction.
