8 volunteers today headed out with ranger Cath Bell to the Gums campground for weeding polygala, clean-up of campground area and track and replace 2 broken posts.
See below some pictures of the invasive weed polygala. Polygala invades and competes in coastal vegetation.
"Not only does Polygala invade coastal vegetation, but other environments as well, such as grassland, grassy woodland, mallee shrubland and riparian environments. In these environments it can form thickets that shade out native plants species, preventing the natural regeneration of the overstorey and shrub layer." - https://cdn.environment.sa.gov.au/landscape/docs/ny/polygala-fact.pdf
