Battling Spanish Heath Invasion

Spanish Heath, an invasive weed, poses a significant threat to our region’s biodiversity and agricultural productivity. Thanks to the State Government Weed Action Fund, we’re embarking on a collaborative effort to eradicate this pest from our landscape. Land managers, councils, utilities, and local landowners are joining forces to tackle Spanish Heath in priority areas. Your participation is crucial in this endeavour. Learn more about Spanish heath and how you can get involved in the eradication effort.

For more information about this weed and how to contribute removing it from our environment, read this flyer:

For landowners within the targeted areas, we will provide free herbicide and instructions on how to spray, or how to manually control Spanish heath on your land. You can play your part by registering your property below.
