Are you knee deep in weedy species and not sure of the best tactics to beat the weeds in your neighbourhood? Come along to our weedy workshop focused on giving Kiwi Link landowners the advice and info (and herbicide!) needed to prioritise and tackle weeds as effectively as possible.
Thanks to Kiwi Coast and the Kiwi Link project we are spreading the weedy word further afield this time, to landowners and Landcare groups in the Owhiwa Rd/Mt Tiger/Whareoa/Pataua North area.
The workshop will cover:
– The Art of War – know your enemy: Identifying and understanding your local weeds
– The importance of prioritising control and having a plan
– Choosing the right approach: Control methods – the theory
– Choosing the right tool for the job: Deciphering herbicide names and active ingredients
– Control demonstrations: The theory put into practice!
Following the workshop there will also be some herbicide available for landowners in the Kiwilink and Whangeri Heads area – tailored specifically for the weed species you are battling.
Where:
Kerry Martin’s Shed, William’s Forest, 92-94 Owhiwa Road (driveway will be flagged).
When:
Sunday 12th August
1pm – 4pm
Afternoon tea provided
