When Gamba Grass was first introduced into Australia, many had high hopes for its value as a livestock feed.
However, today it is a declared weed of national significance.
My name is Steph Coombes, and in this episode I sit down with Rod Edmunds and Steve Dwyer, both Senior District Rangers for NT Parks and Wildlife, to discuss how they manage Gamba Grass in National Parks. They share the story of how they managed Gamba Grass in their early career, and why they have changed their approach significantly over the past 20 years.
This episode is Part 2 in a 4 part series. In part 3 we will hear from project managers who work alongside various stakeholder groups to manage Gamba on under different land ownership and use, and in Part 4 we’ll hear from a local contractor about what’s involved in the fight against gamba grass.
This episode is supported by the Australian Government's National Landcare Program.
