Weeding out… Chilean Needle Grass

Date Time Weeding out… Chilean Needle Grass Council’s ‘Weeding out’ campaign through to the end of the year aims to share information on our region’s priority weeds. This week we’re focusing on Chilean Needle Grass as our weed of the week. As we head into the warmer months, Snowy Monaro Regional Council is calling on all community members to get to know our region’s unwanted (priority) weeds so we can understand how to play our part to protect our environment, help our farmers and support our community. The impact of weeds on natural vegetation can be devastating and is estimated to cost the NSW economy about $1.8 billion annually (NSW Department of Industry, 2018).
