OVER THE YEARS, and with the generous help of many sponsors,
this community-based organisation has provided educative resources
to enable the identification of common weeds that are posing
such a threat to the Tamar Valley in northern Tasmania (and
much else of rural Australia) and to suggest ways of dealing
with them.
The Tamar Valley Weed Strategy is a community based organisation
that has received tremendous support from a whole range of
groups and individuals: heavy and light industry; landcare
groups; municipal councils; Tasmanian Farmers & Graziers Assocn.;
Federal and State governments and indiv idual landowners and
farmers.
The technical information has been made available by the
Dept. of Primary Industries, Water and the Environment (Tasmania).
We first published this site in August 1996, and are pleased
that it may have encouraged others to follow suit. Our philosophy
is simple: feel free to copy, print and redistribute the information
within our site as much as you like - the more aware the community
is of potential problem plants, the more likely we are to
act when we spot them growing in our area. The only acknowledgement
we ask for, is a link to this site.
If you have any comments or suggestions, or just want to
say "G'day", please sign our Guest Book.
We hope you enjoy the site, that you come back to us as we
add more weeds and that you pass on this URL to others you
think may be interested in the environmental health of rural
Australia.
