About Us
The Lower Eyre
Pest Management Group was formed in 1997 in Port Lincoln S.A.
The Group was formed because of
the concern of various local community groups/individuals and
state government bodies with the increased spread of woody
weeds, in particular the Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis).
The Group is an
incorporated body with various local and state government
stakeholders including the Department of Energy and Infrastructure, SA Water,
Department for Environment & Heritage, PIRSA, District Councils of Tumby Bay and
Lower E.P., the City of Port Lincoln, Greening Australia and EP
Natural Resource Management Board.
The Group has
successfully obtained funding from NHT for removal of a number of
weeds (mainly Aleppo pines)
and the subsequent revegetation of these areas with local native
species.
Aim
To provide an
organisation for the co-ordination, management and integration
of environmental pest management on Eyre Peninsula. |
