Another day at the bushland

John and I continued working on the Geraldton Carnation Weeds - as usual for winter. Hard to tell whether we are having an effect - maybe it is just a bad year for them - but we will need to monitor this and maybe change the way we work - the number and distribution of plants does not seem to change much.

Cold Start

I had to wear gloves just riding to the bushland this morning - it was quite chilly - as it often is with sunny winter mornings in Perth.
John and I worked in the Geraldton Carnation Weeds near the defence department boundary. There were depressingly large numbers of plants coming up ... are we having any effect?

Working in the rain

I didn't do a post last week because there was a problem in my GPS settings - it collected hardly any data.

I mainly worked along the path and then down towards the Defence Department land near the POW camp site.

This is the data I did collect. Found a cluster of Fountain Grass plants that I removed.

There were occasional showers to day as John and I continued removing Geraldton Carnation Weeds. There are lots of weeds - not sure whether we are having much impact on the Geraldton Carnation Weed - may need to reconsider our strategy.
