Treating a "mature" Cat's Claw infestation on the Koala Corridor

One of the landholders on the Koala Corridor has an advanced infestation of Cat's Claw Creeper and while they are not prepared at this stage to increase their riparian fencing area they have allowed us to treat the infestation of CCC. These photos show just how massive cat's claw vines can get, unfortunately we can't get any images of the damage they are doing in the canopy.

I am sure these trees are very grateful for the Federal DAFF  and BMRG funding which make the Cat's Claw control efforts of GMA much more effective.
