This week we found out we were successful in obtaining some more funds from a BMRG Weed and Pest Grant that we will use to do extra weed control and also upgrade the tingid breeding facility in Tiaro.
The Tingids are a biological control for Cat's Claw. A viney weed that takes over canopy trees and smothers the forest floor.
Gympie and District Landcare have a well established Tingid Breeding Facility and we are working with them to establish a satellite facility in Tiaro that will service the Fraser Coast.
Cat's Claw is one of many viney weeds that are a problem in the Koala Corridor. The others include Balloon Vine, Mile a Minute and Coastal morning glory.
