SUMMARY:Managing Blackberry and other Weeds - Talk and Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Talking to us is Dr Robin Adair\, a Victorian Blackberry Taskforce member\, who will discuss blackberry management on farms and the latest blackberry policy and news\, as well as provide a demonstration of spray techniques (using water) and using drones. We also have Anton Vigenser\, the Operations Manager from Seeds\, who will be talking about a range of other priority weeds on farms and recommended management approaches. This talk is relevant to all farmers as well as urban interface landholders and owners of bush blocks. \nManaging blackberry is long-term and cannot be achieved by one-off strategies\, particularly for larger infestations. The three main management options available for blackberry include physical control\, biological control and herbicides. The VBT is committed to working with communities and partner agencies to reduce the growth and spread of blackberry in Victoria. \nAlong with blackberry are a wide range of invasive weeds that land managers must be aware of and manage accordingly\, including Thistles\, Cape Weed\, Ragwort\, Gorse\, Pittosporums and Karamu. Seeds is a specialist bushland restoration company with extensive expertise and experience in weed management on farms and ecosystem reconstruction techniques. \nFor all event information\, please see the attached flyer or this email. \nWhere:              Tanglewood Estate\, 60 Bulldog Creek Rd\, Dromana (parking onsite) \nWhen:               Saturday 4th October 2025\nTime:                 9.30am – 10.00am: arrivals\, coffee/tea and introductions\n10.00am – 12.45pm: talks and demonstration followed by a light lunch \nTea\, coffee and a light lunch will be provided (let me know of any food allergies).
