Autumn in the Catchment                  

• Control rabbits while green feed is limited, as this will increase the rate of bait uptake. Contact your local NRM Board District Officer for assistance.
• After the opening rains, prepare for early control of broadleaf weeds (eg. Salvation Jane) by spraying when plants are small - allowing for targeted and cost efficient control.
• Drill & fill exotic trees (eg. Ash, Willow) in the watercourse and aim to eventually replace them with native species.
• Check dam spillways are operational before the big rains (here’s hoping!).
• Take before and after photos of your property (eg. Fencing off a watercourse, revegetation, weed removal), to record your achievements and give yourself a pat on the back!
• Sweep up leaves from exotic trees to prevent them from entering watercourses and choking out aquatic wildlife.
• Woody weeds in bushland (eg. Blackberry, Broom, Gorse) can be cut & swabbed using an appropriate herbicide. Seek assistance from your local NRM Board District Officer.
