NQ Dry Tropics understands that it's not easy to find the time and money to control weeds and pests. Many of our projects are designed to work with small and large landholders to reduce weeds and pest animals. The following initiatives have funding and other support available.
NQ Dry Tropics helps to coordinate the management of weeds. We have a plan (the Pest Management Strategy) that identifies target weeds in order of priority. It also outlines who is responsible for managing them.
Introduction
The dry tropics has many established and emerging tree, shrub, grass and water weeds.
Most graziers, farmers or landholder would say they have a problem with weeds and pests. Managing them underpins many of the programs at NQ Dry Tropics.
Weeds and animal pests can outcompete native species and they lead to losses in production on agricultural land.
