66. Reinvasion
This will be an ongoing problem for this type of job when the target species are
predators. The trap sites will need to be maintained on a regular basis to retain
any gains that are made.
67. Pest plants
There was quite a lot of old
man’s beard noted in parts of
Sulphur Wells when bird count
monitoring lines were being
counted this year. In many
cases plants seen were quite
small, indicating that there is
some spread occurring from
more mature plants within.
Some of this pest plant was
located inside QEII covenants
and should be controlled before
it becomes a major issue. The damage old man’s beard does when left untreated
