Removing the (almost) last GCWs

We are getting to the end of the 'pulling Geraldton Carnation Weeds' season - the warm weather is encouraging them to go to seed in a rush, and the lack of rain has stopped any new seedlings coming up.

Hopefully the rainy winter coupled with our constant weeding to prevent any going to seed will mean that the soil seed bank will be depleted next year - let's hope!

There were still quite a few to pull out - both in the south-east corner, and in the north-west corner.

It was nice to see that GreenCorps (supervised by Nedlands Council) has been also removing Geraldton Carnation weeds from near the southern boundary. The Council has also been mowing the fire access tracks. Thanks Vicki!
