Weed Surveying Along The Henty River
Our next working bee is coming around on Saturday the 11th of December. This time we'll be doing a bit of surveying of weed infestations along the banks of the Henty River, the nearby section of dunes, and the nearby lagoon. There is certainly plenty of blackberry, holly, lupines, gorse, and montpellier broom to be found out there, so it would be great to have an up-to-date concrete idea of where all these weeds are, and how bad the infestations are.
We will be using a simple mobile app called 'GPS Waypoints' to mark precise locations of each contaminated site, and I will then collate them all to create a map.
If you have a smartphone and would like to mark waypoints, you can download the app here, or find it on the Google Play Store, and I can show you how it works on the day. You don't have to have the app to help out, as we will need plenty of eyes on the bush looking for weeds.
