Management Project: Mimosa pigra in the Daly and Moyle Catchments
In 2012 Territory NRM is building on previous work in the Daly, Moyle & Fitzmaurice catchments by supporting a collaborative approach between Indigenous and non-Indigenous land managers to reduce outlier infestations of the Weed of National Significance Mimosa pigra.
From 2009 to 2011 the Mimosa project partners made significant progress in containing the spread of Mimosa pigra through capacity building and working together. Some of the achievements of this project include:
• Development of a 5 year catchment plan
• 41 land managers demonstrated improved knowledge about mimosa control

Management Project - Eradication of Mimosa pigra Outlier in Central QLD
The project will reduce the impact and spread of a high priority outlier infestation of Mimosa pigra, a Weed of National Significance, over the next two years by continuing eradication from Lake Proserpine. This infestation is one of only two infestations located outside the Northern Territory. (Text from Caring for our Country funding - accessed 21 February 2012)
