In recent years STEP has become increasingly concerned about the proliferation of Spanish Moss on our local trees and its potential impact on our bushland. So in December 2023 we asked members to send us details of any Spanish Moss they have seen growing on trees.
Robin Buchanan collated the results and wrote a report which concluded that Spanish Moss is likely to be a serious weed in plant communities in which Turpentine, Lilly Pilly, Brush Box and Cheese Tree are a major component. STEP is now implementing the recommendations contained in the report.
Come and hear Robin explain the results of her findings.
