Weedbusters
Weedbusters is a national program that seeks to raise awareness about the damaging effects of weeds.
Weeds are invasive plants that spread rapidly and have unwanted economic, environmental or social impacts.
Weeds can:
- damage our natural systems, agricultural systems, waterways and coastal areas
- impact on agricultural areas and poison livestock
- affect biodiversity by out-competing native plants and degrading habitat
- cause allergic reactions in people and impact recreational activities.
Weedbuster Week highlights these issues, and celebrates the contributions of the many individuals and groups who dedicate their time helping to control weeds.
Weedbuster Week is held in the first week of September every year.
Around the world, people are getting the Weedbusters message with Weedbuster and similar programs in New Zealand, South Africa and other countries.
So why not become a Weedbuster today?
