Twenty four landholders from the Wellington Vale area attended GLENRAC’s field day at the Tent Hill Hall on Wednesday 18th of November. The day comprised of discussions on both weeds and pest animals.

GLENRAC will host a short field day for landholders in the Wellington Vale district next Wednesday 18th November at the Tent Hill Hall. The field day will launch GLENRAC’s 25thAnniversary Landcare Grant project targeting weed control on private and public land to reduce threats to biodiversity from the spread on invasive weeds.

GLENRAC will host a bus trip to Derek & Fiona Smith’s property ‘Kennilworth’ located just outside of Guyra to ‘get the dirt’ on soil health on Thursday 19th November. Derek Smith has presented at a number of GLENRAC events in the last seven years and is well known for his innovative but practical approach to managing soils, pastures and livestock.

In a move to improve roadside weed management, Glen Innes Severn Council and the Glen Innes Natural Resources Advisory Committee (GLENRAC) are working together with landholders to manage noxious and environmental weeds. The aim of the project is to establish a buffer zone between Council and privately owned land, for more coordinated and effective weed management.
