Weeds of the North Coast of NSW: a guide to identification and control

Identifying and controlling weeds just got easier with the highly-anticipated release of the “Weeds of the North Coast of NSW: a guide to identification and control” book.

The new edition is a collaboration between North Coast Local Land Services and Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare. The book includes all priority weeds in the North Coast Region. The book utilises a traffic light system to highlight priority weeds and provides information on which weeds need to be reported, eradicated and contained.

It is everyone’s responsibility to control, report and prevent the spread of weeds. The book is a practical manual to identify and manage weeds, along with understanding your obligations under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015.

The book also includes details about weed toxicity, plants that should not be sold and some common weed species that impact on agriculture and the environment.
