Toxic pesticides like glyphosate are commonly used to manage weeds on public lands, including sports fields, parks, play grounds, road sides, drains, etc. As independent research continues to point to the dangers of pesticides to our health and environment, it’s time to start talking about safer alternatives available to our community.
After the talk we’ll have a guided walk through the ecological restoration area.
Bitou Bush aerial spraying proposed for Byron
Yes the helicopters are back with toxic pesticides on our shore.
The NPWS contractors are planning to spray various areas of Byron Shire coast on fine weather days during the weekdays from the 15 th – 26 th of July 2013. Patrols will occur and signage will be erected. It’s likely the spraying will occur in the mornings when there isn’t much wind.
Access to some public areas will be restricted. Tallow Beach Road within Cape Byron State Conservation Area and Grays Lane within Tyagarah Nature Reserve and Tyagarah Beach adjoining Tyagarah Nature Reserve will be closed. If you have any questions or are concerned about this operation please contact Byron Coast Area Manager on (02)6620 9300.
