Gamba Grass Management in the Lower Daly

Wangamaty Landcare Co-ordinator - Joye Maddison
The Wangamaty Landcare Group and the MalakMalak rangers find and spray Gamba grass annually in the wet season and also identify & treat other grassy weeds. At the same time they to support and encourage other landholders to control and monitor their Gamba sites. The management strategy is to identify & treat ‘outliers’, follow-up at previously treated sites, survey and then tackle larger sites. Crucial to the Gamba management strategy is collecting and recording data for every site and every single outlier plant treated. This information is then passed on to DNRETAS Weed Management branch.
