This project was a Northern Rivers CMA partnership project carried out during the 2013/14 financial year.
The project aimed to protect these two endangered species (Floyds Grass and Grass-dart Butterfly) on private land through a number of methods. Firstly in the form of on-ground works to control broad-leaf paspalum and lantana, secondly through fencing to prevent livestock grazing, and finally through landholder engagement and community education.
This project involved a combination of chemical control (spraying) and hand weeding of two primary target weeds – broad leaf paspalum and lantana – along the banks of 5 properties which adjoin Pine Creek, Bonville.
