National Weeds and Invasive Information Workshop

Product Information

This report presents a summary of a National Weeds and Invasive Animals Information Workshop, held at Hadley’s Hotel, March 30-31, 2006.
The goal of the workshop was to gain a consolidated advice in relation to Invasive Species (Weeds and Invasive Animals) Indicators under the NM&EF. The NM&EF identifies:

• The Matter for Target - Ecologically significant invasive species;
• The Indicator Heading - Selected ecologically significant invasive species extent and impact;
• The Recommended Indicators for Weeds (Status for Advice) – 1. The area and density of weeds under active management, and 2. New incursions of significant weeds; and
• The Recommended Indicator for Vertebrate Pests (Status for Advice) - Reduction in impact of regionally significant invasive pests (excluding fish).
