LODDON Plains Landcare Network, Parks Victoria Inglewood, and Bendigo TAFE agriculture staff and students last week were out tackling weeds.
They focused efforts on Mount  Korong Nature Conservation Reserve and private land.
Led by Parks Victoria ranger James Stewart the students from Bendigo TAFE learnt how to identify and treat invasive weed species at Mt Korong.
“Once we had the information session we moved out with manual removal tools, to ensure that the invasive plants were targeted while preserving the delicate balance of the surrounding ecosystem,” said network facilitator Will Sanson.
“Private landowner received some valuable help with weed removal and the students gained some valuable experience.”
Landcare volunteers were also joined by children on break from school.
