Thanks to the more than 300 landholders, together with our partner local governments and other project collaborators, who participated in the WA State NRM grant-funded Four LGAs, One Weed program to tackle Arum Lily on properties across the Shires of Capel and Harvey and the Cities of Bunbury and Busselton. Your passion and commitment played a vital part in working together across our communities to help tackle this extremely aggressive, invasive declared pest plant.
