User's notes
In grassy woodland; 563 Serrated tussocks cut and sprayed with glyphosate and mapped with Field maps Treated Weeds; more needs to be done. Friends of Mt Majura mapped the serious ST infestation uphill and south of Blue Metal Road for years but unfortunately volunteers mapping is ignored (although a couple of Sts mapped by FoMM along the road were sprayed by contractors recently). The high density is east of the high transmission power line where ST was always a problem (disturbance) and which most likely was the original source of the infestation deeper into the reserve.
Tackling a couple of easy to reach tussocks along the road doesn't do the trick when the main infestations are ignored.
