Boneseed Blitz

Boneseed Blitz week is back again in 2023.  

Boneseed is an invasive weed of national significance. It invades natural areas and out-competes native plants. It can invade the understorey of bushland, reduce biodiversity and become a fire hazard.

Help control boneseed in the Tamar Valley by:

• Joining us at one of the organised events (see below)
• Setting up a Boneseed Blitz event with your group
• Removing boneseed from your property AND
• Report any sightings to Tamar NRM on 03 6323 3310 or 0456 853 445
