    The health of the Murrumbidgee River in its upper reaches is of particular interest to many organisations in the area and this includes the Upper Murrumbidgee Landcare Committee (UMLC) and associated network of Landcare Groups.

    Supported by a NSW Environmental Trust Grant, the UMLC is currently working to reduce the threat to the river from invasive black willows. Black willows are a declared weed within the Cooma Monaro Shire due to its invasive nature and its impact on the environment.

    Upper Murrumbidgee Black Willows Survey 2006-07

    Submitted by UMLC on Sat, 06/03/2010 - 13:36
    Black willow (Salix nigra) is one of the most invasive willow species in the Upper Murrumbidgee catchment. Although programs have been previously undertaken, control can never be guaranteed to be 100% effective and on-going vigilance is required to ensure long-term control and avoid serious re-infestation. The most effective way to do this is to ensure that all landholders are aware of the problems and are able to identify black willows and understand how to control them at an early stage.
