Weed control- Capertee Valley

24 NOVEMBER, 2011

Journey starts with a single step

Laurie Wadell from Upper Macquarie County Council has been scouring large areas in the Capertee Valley on foot looking for outbreaks of serrated tussock, considered one of Australia's most destructive weeds.
Due to good rainfall Noxious weeds have been growing vigorously, its a shared problem. This program is a joint project between the council and Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority (HNCMA)

St John's Wort and blackberry are high on the agenda as well.
So far 13,000 acres have been sprayed and this coming week (weather permitting) spraying will take place on Glen Davis Road from Capertee to the Glen Davis turn off.
Glen Alice Road to Mt Marsden and the secondary roads Home Hills, Noola, Myalla Dunvill Loop.
To arrange a visit ring Laurie on Mobile 0427 660 045
Capertee Valley residents are very appreciative of this combined effort so that landholders in the area are able to work on the weeds at the same time. Thank you to UMCC and HNCMA

Welcome to our new blog!

Hi everyone,
Welcome to a "coming of age" for Capertee and District Progress Association Inc.

We have decided to set up this blog in order to reach more people in the community.
The CDPA holds its meetings monthly in the Community Hall at Capertee with the Annual general meeting held in March. All meetings are open to the public.

The 2011 committee is:
President/Secretary : Karl Hanson
Vice President :         Benita Ribaux-Dolbel
Treasurer:                  Maria Moon

Our plan is to inform the community on things that may affect them either directly or indirectly as well as have a place where the public can comment as well as add suggestions.

We as a group understand that it is not always easy to make it to our monthly meetings but as a community it is important to get your message across!

This blog is in the process of being built so please bear with us during this time!
