The Mt Warning Caldera Region of NE NSW and SE QLD has many disturbed, weed infested poorly managed lands and waterways. Lantana, Camphor Laurel and other environmental and declared weed species abound. There is a trend for revegetation and habitat restoration projects, (land for Wildlife, landcare, caring for our country etc) to incorporate herbicide spraying of weeds, into the projects. Many projects are along waterways.
