Bush Regeneration

Morning Bay Bush Care

Our bush regeneration is largely built around follow-up weeding of the eastern portion of the north facing Morning Bay hillside, which has been the subject of a 10 year long programme of primary removal of mostly Asparagus fern with isolated Farmer’s friend and Mother of millions. We also give attention to some hot spots around the bay and periodically head over to the northern side of the bay, where Crofton weed is still active.
