Are you wild about trees?

19 November 2016

Twenty-two people spent their day sweeping across, down and up slopes seeking out wilding trees on Jeff Keens’ property in the Tomagalak catchment. The group was a good mix of people experienced with controlling wilding trees, and a number who came along for the first time to learn about the issue. These work days are important to help keep on top of regenerating wilding trees, and to see first-hand what the wiliding tree problem is about. Jeff Keen is a great example of someone who actively manages wilding trees on his property and welcomes groups of people to help keep on top of them. The total area covered by the group was almost 11.5 hectares – an excellent effort for the day.

Thanks to everyone that came along and to Jeff and Lindsay Keen for hosting the wilding tree work day on their property.
