Our beautiful region is being overrun by a toxic and aggressive invader, but we have a plan to restore harmony and we need your help.
Backed by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program, Nature Conservation Margaret River Region and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions are spearheading the biggest arum lily control program this region has ever seen. In 2019, the first year of the three year Blitz, an impressive 624 landowners took part, actively controlling arum lilies across 10,800 hectares. Nearly 1200 hours of spraying was undertaken by contractors on private property, National Parks and reserves. Private landowners themselves did over 800 hours of control.
Volunteers from the Yallingup Land Conservation District Committee and the Friends of the Cape to Cape Track began work to control arum lily within the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
Motivating and supporting shared management by landowners, volunteers and government agencies across thousands of hectares is a huge challenge and we are excited by the progress that has been made in the first year of the Blitz. It is an inspiring effort of a whole community working together.
Please join us in this war on the most widespread, damaging weed in our beautiful region. We are in the second year of the three year Blitz so the time to get involved is now.
