Weeds are among the most serious threats to Australia's primary production and natural environment.
Weed management is therefore an essential and integral part of the sustainable management of natural resources and the environment, and requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach. To provide a focus for weed management in the Riverina district of south-eastern NSW, a regional branch of the NSW Weed Society was formed in May 1997. The Riverina Branch represents a wide cross-section of interests including agricultural departments, herbicide companies, local councils, Landcare groups, universities and farmers. The aim of the Branch is to raise community awareness and education about weeds, their costs and how to manage the problems that weeds present to the community. A number of activities have been planned to meet these aims.
