Saturday 10 November: Broom clearing 15th year –
Cotter Hut
The club’s long-term project aimed at removal
of this invasive species from the Upper Cotter area will take place again this
year. Each year club members go to the area around the Cotter Hut and locate and
clear any new broom plants that can be found. The seeds of this species can stay
in the soil for well over 20 years and each plant can produce thousands of
seeds. Our contribution has involved searching the area to locate infestations,
removal by digging and detailed mapping. You will have the opportunity to travel
to the Upper Cotter by vehicle and spend the day in a remote part of Namadgi. No
special skills needed– if you have ever dug up weeds then you know what to do!
