Survey/Project Name: | Sandy Creek Weed Control 1985 - Terry Owers |
Abstract: | This survey outlines a weed control program for the Sandy Creek Conservation Park, Barossa, South Australia. The park contains at least ten species of weeds which are having an effect on the endemic vegetation. These weeds were mapped by surveying transects. Mapped weeds were given a rating of density and status. The program outlines priorities of treatment for each weed species and suggests control methods. Report dated September 1985.
