Managing environmental weeds

An environmental weed is any plant which is capable of spreading, either by natural means such as wind, or unintentionally assisted, such as on the wheels of vehicles.

Why they can be a problem

Environmental weeds become an ecological or management problem, as they are often very persistent and expensive to control. They may cause health problems, take over areas of bushland, or invade parks and gardens.

If you have a weed problem in your garden, please look at our information on techniques for weed control.
