It was lovely to talk about our research on #weedy #Gazanias at the #Victorian #Weeds #Conference last week. Thanks for the invite The Weed Society of Victoria (@society_weed). It’s encouraging to see rising awareness on this topic backed by our evidence-based research. We are paving the way for #social_licence required to #stop_the_spread of this harmful weed. Thanks @GRDCSouth for supporting preliminary work on this issue.

Thanks Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) (@abcnews) for featuring our research on #weedy #Gazanias. It’s always great to see a cooperator #grower featured with their insights and experience. @RobinMSchaefer has been a great support for our ongoing research on this important topic. Thanks @GRDCSouth for supporting our work. I’m hopeful this rising awareness, backed by evidence-based research, will shift the #policy dial on #invasive_plants management in #Australia. @SABE_latrobe @latrobe @WeedSmartAU @society_weed
