Using land manager workshops to develop serrated tussock best management practices

摘要

Beginning in March 2007, a national land manager workshop project was conducted to determine regional farmers' 'Best Practice' solutions to control serrated tussock. Over 200 land managers participated in eight workshops across Victoria, New South Wales, ACT and Tasmania. Land managers involved in the workshops were given the opportunity to engage with professionals and peers to develop a serrated tussock management plan based upon their own situations. The outcomes from these workshops are contributing to the development of a national 'Defeating the Weed Menace -^sSerrated Tussock Best Management Practice' handbook. The workshops have also contributed ideas and directions for future research.
